##Express LESS Middleware 
This middleware is designed to compile LESS on the fly.
###Installing
npm install express-less-middleware --saveShould only be used for development. LESS should be compiled during a build process
###What this does (per request)
- Determines if file requested is: (if conditions aren't met it runs
next())- requested via GET method
- a CSS file
- Looks for CSS file requested
- if found it will let it go through the original flow via next
- Looks for a LESS file with the same name as the CSS file requested
- if LESS file is found it will read that file and compile it to CSS and deliever the response
- If no LESS or CSS file is found, it will give you a 404 like usual
###What this doesn't do
- Look for changes on save (if you use it, you won't need a grunt watch on less files)
###Example
var http = require( 'http' );
var express = require( 'express' );
var app = express();
// this assumes that the publicly available folder is on the same directory level
// as the file that starts your express server
var lessCompiler = require( 'express-less-middleware' )();
// if that's not the case, initialize it with the path to your public/client-side folder
// the path should be relative to the directory where the file that starts your express server is
// ex) var lessCompiler = require( 'express-less-middleware' )( '../path/to/public/folder' );
// ....everything else that has to do with configuring
// you should only use this when developing. Not meant for production
app.configure( 'dev', function() {
// this must be "used" before express.use( express.static() ) or it will not work (no next())
app.use( lessCompiler );
});
// ....other stuff relative to your express app
http.createServer( app ).listen( 8000 );####License
