UI5 task for compiling less files

👋 This is a community project and there is no official support for this package! Feel free to use it, open issues, contribute, and help answering questions.

Task for ui5-builder, enabling compiling of less files in your app folder.

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-task-compileless --save-dev

Configuration options (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)

• debug: true|false
  verbose logging

• lessToCompile String<Array>
  array of less resources specified as paths or glob patterns which should be compiled

Usage

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

"devDependencies": {
    // ...
    "ui5-task-compileless": "*"
    // ...
}

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

builder:
  customTasks:
   - name: ui5-task-compileless
     afterTask: replaceVersion
     configuration:
        debug: true
        # lessToCompile: (Optional by default css from manifest will be used)
        #   - "css/style.less"

How it works

The task can be used to compile less files in your app folder by using less-openui5.

It can also include less file from the ui5 dependencies for example

@import "/resources/sap/ui/core/themes/base/base.less";

To get all the less variable that are defined in the sap ui theme core.
