LESS Compiler for Laravel 4
===========================

[](#less-compiler-for-laravel-4)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Add to your composer.json those lines

```
"require": {
    "vtalbot/less": "1.*"
}

```

Run `php artisan config:publish vtalbot/less`

Then edit `config.php` in `app/packages/vtalbot/less` to your needs.

Update `app/config/app.php` with:

```
'providers' => array(
    ...
    'VTalbot\Less\LessServiceProvider',
),

...

'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'Less'            => 'VTalbot\Less\Facades\Less',
),

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

```

```

If `css/test.css` doesn't exists in the `public` directory, it will search for `test.less` in `app/less` (changeable in `config.php`) directory. If found, compile it if needed and return the result.

```
Less::make('file-in-less-directory');

```
