> A straightforward library that extracts variable declarations from multiple `Less` / `Scss` sources and returns a `PHP` associative array.

Install
-------

[](#install)

1- Use `Composer` to install as follows,

```
composer require websemantics/lcss2php
```

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Pass a list of files (`Less`, `Scss` or a mix ) to a newly created instance of `Lcss2php` class. Get a list of all the variables using the `all` method.

```
$files = ['/usr/etc/variables.less', '/usr/etc/_variables.scss'];

$lcss2php = new Lcss2php($files);

$variables = $lcss2php->all();
```

By default all variable types are returned, for example, `Color`, `Dimension`, etc. You can use the `ignore` function to filter some types from the final variables list,

```
$variables = (new Lcss2php($files))->ignore(['Color', 'Dimension'])->all();
```

Notice that, there are two different variable types for each lanaguage (`Less`, `Scss`). For a list of all the types, check class `Type` at `lcss2php/src/Node/Type.php`.

Example
-------

[](#example)

Quick run of what to expect; take this `Scss` example code,

```
$green: #24ce7b !default;
$blue: #38b5e6 !default;
$orange: #f48714 !default;
$red: #f6303e !default;

$brand-success: $green;
$brand-info: $blue;
$brand-warning: $orange;
$brand-danger: $red;

$spacer: 1rem !default;
$spacer-x: $spacer !default;
$spacer-y: $spacer !default;
```

Will be converted to,

```
[
  "green" => "#24ce7b"
  "blue" => "#38b5e6"
  "orange" => "#f48714"
  "red" => "#f6303e"
  "brand-success" => "#24ce7b"
  "brand-info" => "#38b5e6"
  "brand-warning" => "#f48714"
  "brand-danger" => "#f6303e"
  "spacer" => "1rem"
  "spacer-x" => "1rem"
  "spacer-y" => "1rem"
]
```
