less-brunch

less-brunch

Adds LESS support to brunch.

Usage

npm install --save-dev less-brunch

Options

Pass options as per lessc's documentation in your brunch-config, e.g. print source-file references in output by setting dumpLineNumbers.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: {
    less: {
      dumpLineNumbers: 'comments' // other values: 'mediaquery', 'all'
      // ... other options
    }
  }
};

Note that some options are overwritten: paths and filename are set by the plugin. In production mode line numbers are suppressed.

CSS Modules

Starting Brunch 2.6, you can use CSS Modules with less-brunch. To enable it, change your config to:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: {
    less: {
      modules: true
    }
  }
};

Then, author your styles like you normally would:

.title {
  font-size: 32px;
}

And reference CSS class names by requiring the specific style into your javascript:

var style = require('./title.less');
 
<h1 className={style.title}>Yo</h1>

Note: enabling cssModules does so for every stylesheet in your project, so it's all-or-nothing. Even the files you don't require will be transformed into CSS modules (aka will have obfuscated class names, like turn .title into ._title_fdphn_1).
