Play-Less Gradle plugin

Gradle plugin to be used with the Play! framework Gradle plugin that allows Less stylesheets to be compiled into CSS stylesheets and included in the web application.

Usage

Using the new plugin mechanism (requires Gradle 2.1 or later):

plugins {
    id "com.janitovff.play-less" version "0.0.2"
}

Using the common plugin mechanism:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "gradle.plugin.com.janitovff:play-less-gradle-plugin:0.0.2"
    }
}

apply plugin: "com.janitovff.play-less"

Details

The Less4j compiler is used to compile the Less stylesheets. By default, the source set is configured to load files from "app/assets" that have the ".less" extension. This can be configured by using a custom less source set:

model {
    components {
        play {
            sources {
                less {
                    source {
                        srcDir 'src/app/less'
                        include '**/*.less'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
