build-css



Helper for building/minifying LESS and CSS files. It makes it super easy to
compile LESS, concatenate all the CSS, and minify the output.

Example

``js
var buildCSS = require('build-css');

buildCSS([
'file1.css',
'file2.css',
'less1.less'
], function(e, css) {
// Do awesome stuff with the css
});

// Now with more knobs and switches!!!
var opts = {
// Minify the output with clean-css
// Default: true
minify: true,

// Directories to look for LESS @imports, source file directory is
// included by default.
paths: ['.']
};

buildCSS([
'file.css',
'file.less'
], opts, function(e, css) {
if (e) {
throw e;
}

fs.writeFile('file.min.css', css, function(e) {
// Continue building
});
});
`

Reference

$3

Builds an array of CSS/LESS files, concatenating and minifying them.

files is an array of file paths to read. The order of the files is preserved
when concatenating. If a file in files is a .less file, it will be compiled
and the CSS output will be used.

opts is an optional object containing the configuration settings. The
minify option will disable minification when it is false. The paths option
is an array of paths to look for the files imported by LESS @imports. The
source file directory is always added to this when compiling.

callback is a function that will be called with the result. It uses the
normal Node callback signature of (error, result)`.

It uses clean-css when minifying
the CSS.
