Yet Another connect-less

The other existing less handlers for connect.js did not quite work for the site-manager. We needed a bit more flexibility than the other implementations had.

This version supports passing multiple directories, which are all searched for less files. The less files are compiled when requested the first time, unless debugging is enabled.

Installation

npm install connect-less-jolira

Example

Search for .less files in /var/www and /home/fido/www:

var connect = require("connect"),
    less = require("connect-less-jolira"),
    app = connect.createServer();
app.use(less(["/var/www", "/home/fido/www"]));

Any file with extenstion .less will be compiled on-demand and returned as `text/css. E.g.

'''

<link rel="stylesheet" href="twitterbootstrap/less/bootstrap.less">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="twitterbootstrap/less/responsive.less"> '''
