stylelint-less

A collection of Less specific rules for stylelint

Purpose

Stylelint supports less syntax, but some of the rules in stylelint not working as expected , So created this plugin to supports those rules for less, since Stylelint is generally focused on standard CSS syntax.

Installation and usage

First install Stylelint-less and stylelint (if it is not instlled already)

npm install stylelint stylelint-less

Create a config for stylelint and add stylelint-less to the plugins array and the rules you need to the rules list. All rules from stylelint-less need to be namespaced with less.

{
  "plugins": [
    "stylelint-less"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "at-rule-no-unknown": null,
    "color-no-invalid-hex":true,
    "less/color-no-invalid-hex":true
  }
}

Please refer to stylelint docs for the detailed info on using this linter.

List of Rules

• color-hex-case
• color-no-hex
• color-no-invalid-hex
• no-duplicate-variables

Use these rules with less namespace example

less/color-no-hex: "true"

Note

Please make sure there is

• No space between variable and ':'
• A space between ":" and value example @color: red;

so that these rules will work as expected. If the variable is not in the above format , you will get Invalid variable error.
