NAME

Plack::Middleware::File::Less - compile LESS templates into CSS stylesheets

SYNOPSIS

use Plack::App::File;
use Plack::Builder;

builder {
    mount "/stylesheets" => builder {
        enable "File::Less";
        Plack::App::File->new(root => "./stylesheets");
    };
};

# Or with Middleware::Static
enable "File::Less";
enable "Static", path => qr/\.css$/, root => "./static";

DESCRIPTION

Plack::Middleware::File::Less is middleware that compiles Less templates into CSS stylesheet..

When a request comes in for .css file, this middleware changes the internal path to .less in the same directory. If the LESS template is found, a new CSS stylesheet is built on memory and served to the browsers. Otherwise, it falls back to the original .css file in the directory.

LESS BACKENDS

If you have the lessc executable available in your PATH, this module automatically uses the command to convert LESS into CSS. If the command is not available and you have CSS::LESSp perl module available, it will be used. Otherwise you'll get an exception during the initialization of this middleware component.
