`gulp-less-changed`

A Gulp plugin to pass through LESS files only if they or their dependencies have changed

Analyses LESS files and their dependencies, i.e., imports and files included using data-uri, to save wasting time regenerating output.

Install

$ npm install gulp-less-changed --save-dev

Example

Using `gulp-less-changed` where the CSS output is generated next to the LESS input

1const gulp = require('gulp');
2const lessChanged = require('gulp-less-changed');
3const less = require('gulp-less');
4
5gulp.task('default', () => {
6    return gulp.src('src/*.less')
7        .pipe(lessChanged())
8        .pipe(less())
9        .pipe(gulp.dest('src'));
10});

Using `gulp-less-changed` where the CSS output has a different path and extension

1const gulp = require('gulp');
2const lessChanged = require('gulp-less-changed');
3const rename = require('rename');
4const less = require('gulp-less');
5const cleanCss = require('gulp-clean-css');
6const gulpRename = require('gulp-rename');
7
8const OutputPath = 'dest';
9const MinifiedExtension = '.min.css';
10
11gulp.task('default', () => {
12    return gulp.src('src/*.less')
13        .pipe(lessChanged({
14            getOutputFileName: file => rename(file, { dirname: OutputPath, extname: MinifiedExtension })
15        }))
16        .pipe(less())
17        .pipe(cleanCss())
18        .pipe(gulpRename({ extname: MinifiedExtension }))
19        .pipe(gulp.dest(OutputPath));
20});

Using `gulp-less-changed` for incremental builds

1const gulp = require('gulp');
2const lessChanged = require('gulp-less-changed');
3const rename = require('rename');
4const less = require('gulp-less');
5const cleanCss = require('gulp-clean-css');
6const gulpRename = require('gulp-rename');
7
8const OutputPath = 'dest';
9const MinifiedExtension = '.min.css';
10
11gulp.task('css', () => {
12    return gulp.src('src/*.less')
13        .pipe(lessChanged({
14            getOutputFileName: file => rename(file, { dirname: OutputPath, extname: MinifiedExtension })
15        }))
16        .pipe(less())
17        .pipe(cleanCss())
18        .pipe(gulpRename({ extname: MinifiedExtension }))
19        .pipe(gulp.dest(OutputPath));
20});
21
22gulp.task('default', () => {
23    return gulp.watch('src/*.less', ['css']);
24});

As an optimisation, the import list for each file is kept in memory and on disk. If all of the imports for a particular file have the same timestamp, the import list for that file is assumed to be the same. This helps to speed up incremental builds.

API

lessChanged([options])

For each input LESS file in the Gulp stream, looks for the corresponding CSS file. If the LESS file has a later timestamp than its corresponding CSS file, or if any of the LESS file's imports has a later timestamp than the CSS file, the LESS file is emitted to the stream.

If no options are specified, looks for a CSS file in the same path as the LESS file with a .css extension. Otherwise:

options.getOutputFileName - function Map source paths to destination paths (e.g. function(path) { return rename(path, { extname: 'min.css' }); }) Overrides the default behaviour of looking for .css files in the input path.
options.paths - string[] Search paths for @imports and files referenced using data-uri. This works in the same way as the paths option for gulp-less. Additional less options such as globalVars can also be used: internally, less is used to discover imports. This means that paths can be evaluated using less syntax.
