Examples of use

LESS compilation

First, you need the LESS compiler installed:

$ sudo npm install less

Then, in order to compile the app/assets/less/main.less file if any LESS file within assets/less has been modified. The config file should be like:

    'files_to_watch' => array(

        'assets/less/*.less' => function($file) {
            // Using node.js less compiler
            echo "A LESS file has been modified! Compiling 'main.less'.\n";
            exec('lessc app/assets/less/main.less > public/assets/css/main.css');
        },
