The README.md

LessElephant Travis build status

A wrapper for the less binary written in PHP, (*1)

Requirements

  • php >= 5.3
  • *nix system with less (lessc binary) installed

Dependencies

for tests, (*2)

Installation

composer, (*3)

To install LessElephant with composer you simply need to create a composer.json in your project root and add:, (*4)

``` json { "require": { "cypresslab/less-elephant": "<=1.0.0" } }, (*5)


Then run

``` bash
$ wget -nc http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
$ php composer.phar install

You have now LessElephant installed in vendor/cypresslab/lesselephant, (*6)

And an handy autoload file to include in you project in vendor/.composer/autoload.php, (*7)

pear, (*8)

Add the Cypresslab channel, (*9)

``` bash $ pear channel-discover pear.cypresslab.net, (*10)


And install the package. *By now LessElephant is in alpha state. So remember the -alpha in the library name*

``` bash
$ pear install cypresslab/LessElephant-alpha

On Cypresslab pear channel homepage you can find other useful information, (*11)

Testing

The library is tested with PHPUnit., (*12)

Go to the base library folder and run the test suites, (*13)

``` bash $ phpunit, (*14)


Code style
----------

* LessElephant follows the [Symfony2 Coding Standard](https://github.com/opensky/Symfony2-coding-standard)
* I'm using [gitflow](https://github.com/nvie/gitflow) so, if you want to contribute, please send a pull-request on develop branch

How to use
----------

Remember to **give the user the right permissions to access the filesystem**. If you are using a web server give permissions to both your user and the web server user.

**constructor**

``` php
<?php

$project = new LessProject("/path/to/less/folder", "screen.less", "/path/to/css/screen.css"); // create the base class

// optionally you can pass a project name and a custom LessBinary class
$project = new LessProject(
    "/path/to/less/folder",
    "main_file.less",
    "/path/to/css/file.css",
    "my-awesome-project",
    new LessBinary("/path/to/lessc")
);

manage a less project, (*15)

php // return false if the project needs to be recompiled. In other words if you changed something in any of your less files after the last sylesheets generation if (!$project->isClean()) { $project->compile(); // compile the project } echo $project->isClean(); // returns true, (*16)

Staleness Checker, (*17)

LessElephant checks if the project need to be compiled with the awesome Symfony Finder component, by scanning your source less folder, (*18)

Symfony2

LessElephantBundle let symfony do the work for you, (*19)
