grunt-lesshint

library2.0.0jsnpmunverified

Lint LESSCSS files with Grunt. Version 2.0.0 requires Node >= 4.0.0 and Grunt ~0.4.5. This plugin integrates the lesshint linter into the Grunt build system, providing a task named 'lesshint' for checking LESS files. Options include force (continue on errors), reporter (custom error formatting), lesshintrc (configuration file), and allowWarnings (allow warnings without failure). Release history shows updates to lesshint v3.0.0 and support for custom reporters and allowing warnings. Less frequently updated; last release 2017.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

grunt-lesshint task

✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-lesshint');

✗ const lesshint = require('grunt-lesshint');

Grunt plugin, not a Node module. Load via grunt.loadNpmTasks.

LesshintTaskConfig

✓ // Define task in grunt.initConfig lesshint: { options: {}, your_target: { src: ['**/*.less'] } }

✗ grunt.initConfig({ lesshint: { ... } }) is correct; no separate import for config type.

Configuration is plain object, not a class.

Gruntfile configuration for grunt-lesshint task linting all .less files in src/.

// Install: npm install grunt-lesshint --save-dev // In Gruntfile: module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-lesshint'); grunt.initConfig({ lesshint: { options: { force: true, lesshintrc: true }, all: { src: ['src/**/*.less'] } } }); grunt.registerTask('default', ['lesshint']); };
