Stylus task for Grunt

Warning

This plugin is deprecated. Use grunt-contrib-stylus with Grunt 0.4. It’s more awesome and it should work fine as a drop-in replacement for grunt-stylus.

npm install grunt-stylus

Add somewhere in your grunt.js:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-stylus');

Inside your grunt.js file add a section named stylus. See Parameters section below for details.

stylus: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      'include css': true,
      'paths': ['path/to/import', 'another/to/import']
    },
    files: {
      'path/to/result.css': 'path/to/source.styl',
      'path/to/another.css': 'path/to/source2.styl'
    }
  }

Nib Support

Nib is supported by default. You don’t need to do anything. Just @import 'nib'; anywere you need some nib.

Using Stylus’s url() Function

You can use url() function for embedding images as data:uri. You can define any name for it.

...
options: {
  urlfunc: 'embedurl'
}
...

Now you can write in Stylus files:

E {
  background:embedurl("logo.png");
}

Handling of --debug option

Compression (compress option in Stylus) disables when --debug options for grunt is specified. And enables otherwise.
