less-hot

A hot loader for LESS, primarily intended for use with Electron.

It compiles the LESS file, registers a watcher on the file, and returns a <style> element. Whenever the file is changed, the contents of that element will be updated.

Install

With npm do:

npm install less-hot

Example

var LessHotLoader = require('less-hot');
var lessLoader = new LessLoader();
document.querySelector('head').appendChild(lessLoader('test.less'));

Options

You can pass in an optional object to specify the cache directory for the less files. It will use a temporary directory by default.

var lessLoader = new LessLoader({cacheDir: '/path/to/dir/'});
