Watch less files and their dependency tree for changes & automatically recompile
Rather than watching a directory for changes in any files, like other watchers, watch-less-do-more watches your main less file and automatically watches only its dependencies. If the main file, or any of it's dependencies change, the main file is compiled. This also allows you to watch multiple main files in a directory, and only compile the ones that have either changed themselves, or have had their dependencies changed. Additionally, this means that updating your node_modules (if any are dependencies of your less) will cause your less to recompile.
If we have the following files
main-a.less
main-b.less
dependency-of-a.less
dependency-of-b.less
dependency-of-a-and-b.less
not-related-to-other-files.less
And we run the command
watch-less-do-more -i main-a.less -o main-a.css -i main-b.less -o main-b.css
Changes to not-related-to-other-files.less
will not cause any less to compile.
Changes to dependency-of-a-and-b.less
will cause both main-a.less
and main-b.less
to recompile.
Changes to dependency-of-a.less
will cause only main-a.less
to recompile.
Changes to dependency-of-b.less
will cause only main-b.less
to recompile.
