# grunt-contrib-less [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-less.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-less)

> Compile LESS files to CSS.



## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-contrib-less --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-less');
```

*This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that [you upgrade](http://gruntjs.com/upgrading-from-0.3-to-0.4), but in case you can't please use [v0.3.2](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-less/tree/grunt-0.3-stable).*


## Less task
_Run this task with the `grunt less` command._

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt [Configuring tasks](http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks) guide.
### Options

#### paths
Type: `String|Array`
Default: Directory of input file.

Specifies directories to scan for @import directives when parsing. Default value is the directory of the source, which is probably what you want.

#### compress
Type: `Boolean`
Default: False

Compress output by removing some whitespaces.

#### yuicompress
Type: `Boolean`
Default: False

Compress output using cssmin.js

#### optimization
Type: `Integer`
Default: null

Set the parser's optimization level. The lower the number, the less nodes it will create in the tree. This could matter for debugging, or if you want to access the individual nodes in the tree.

#### strictImports
Type: `Boolean`
Default: False

Force evaluation of imports.

#### dumpLineNumbers
Type: `String`
Default: false

Configures -sass-debug-info support.

Accepts following values: `comments`, `mediaquery`, `all`.

### Usage Examples

```js
less: {
  development: {
    options: {
      paths: ["assets/css"]
    },
    files: {
      "path/to/result.css": "path/to/source.less"
    }
  },
  production: {
    options: {
      paths: ["assets/css"],
      yuicompress: true
    },
    files: {
      "path/to/result.css": "path/to/source.less"
    }
  }
}
```
