Middleware for ui5-server, live compiling less files.

Prerequisites

• Requires at least @ui5/cli@3.0.0 (to support specVersion: "3.0")

⚠️ UI5 Tooling Compatibility All releases of this tooling extension using the major version 3 require UI5 Tooling V3. Any previous releases below major version 3 (if available) also support older versions of the UI5 Tooling. But the usage of the latest UI5 Tooling is strongly recommended!

Install

npm install ui5-middleware-livecompileless --save-dev

Configuration options (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)

• debug: true|false
  verbose logging

Usage

1. Define the dependency in $yourapp/package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    // ...
    "ui5-middleware-livecompileless": "*"
    // ...
}

2. configure it in $yourapp/ui5.yaml:

server:
  customMiddleware:
    - name: ui5-middleware-livecompileless
      beforeMiddleware: serveResources
      configuration:
        debug: true

How it works

The css file corresponding to your less file needs to be maintained in the manifest as described here. The middleware will watch for those css files and searches for the corresponding less file, compiles it and serves it back.
