Express middleware that compiles less files to css on the way out.
Middleware that compiles less to css on-the-fly. Intended to be used
in a development setting with the express.static middleware, but
should work with any middleware further down the stack, even an http
proxy.
The response will be rewritten under these circumstances:
Content-Type of text/less..less (excluding GET parameters) and
the Content-Type is application/octet-stream (this is what
Connect's static
middleware does.Compiless plays nice with conditional GET. If the original response
has an ETag, compiless will add to it so the ETag of the compiled
response never clashes with the original ETag. That prevents the
middleware issuing the original response from being confused into
sending a false positive 304 Not Modified if compiless is turned
off or removed from the stack later.
Make sure you have node.js and npm installed, then run:
npm install express-compiless
var express = require('express'),
compiless = require('express-compiless'),
root = '/path/to/my/static/files';
express()
.use(compiless({ root: root }))
.use(express.static(root))
.listen(1337);
