README

Use to easily convert your less files to a unique optionally minified css file.

Prepared parser use for :

• ILess by Michal Moravec
• less.php by Josh Schmidt

Prepared minifier for :

• a simple personnal minifier
• css-minifier by WebSharks, Inc.

ILess compresses the CSS by itself so no need for another minifier.

Some upgrades

It needs some enhancements (eg. access parser built in methods and configuration). I built this proxy for my personnal use and needs in the first place.

Basic Usage

$parserImplementation = 'iLess'; 
// $parserImplementation = 'lessc'; 

$compressorImplementation = 'simple'; 
// $compressorImplementation = 'websharks'; 

use JDZ\Less2Css\Parser\Parser;
use JDZ\Less2Css\Parser\ParserInterface;
use JDZ\Less2Css\Minifier\Minifier;
$parser = \JDZ\Less2Css\Parser\Parser::getInstance($parserImplementation, true);

// parses the file
$parser->parseFile('file1.less');

// parse string
$parser->parseString('body { color: @text-color; }');

// add some variables
$parser->addVariables([
  'text-color' => '#222'
]);

$css = $parser->getCSS();
if ( !$parser->isCssCompressed() ){
  // compress the css result because the parser did not do it
  $minifier = Minifier::getInstance($compressorImplementation, $css);
  $css = $minifier->compressCss();
}

echo $css;
