dmLessLibraryPlugin for Diem Extended is LESS compiler for Diem Extended projects. For now, it can be used via task from console, while integration with response object is work in progress., _(*2)

The following commands are available:, _(*3)

• php symfony less:clear-cache or php symfony less:cc - Clears the compilation cache, if any is used. Current LESS compiler http://leafo.net/lessphp uses file cache. Other future implementation may not use this feature.
• php symfony less:compile or php symfony lessc - Compiles the LESS files to CSS files for project. If, per example, there is file called file.less it will be compiled and stored at same directory under the name file.css.
• php symfony less:delete-css or php symfony less:delcss - Deletes compiled CSS files from LESS files. It does that according the file names (if in directory exists file.less and file.css - the conclusion is that CSS file is compiled LESS file, so it will be removed).
