Node.js - express - jade - compile SASS/LESS

Question

Anyone have a really newbie guide to nodejs - express - SASS/LESS? I have not been able to get this working. The example I have now is a bareboned as possible..

Answer 1

I'm also a newb trying to get this setup. I have tried a few snippets I found until I finally noticed that express has an 'express' command that sets up a new project.

Try express -c less to create a sample project with LESS as the CSS engine.

This should create the required directories. The new css files will be served from your static directory.

The configuration is:

app.configure(function(){
  app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
  app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
  app.use(express.bodyDecoder());
  app.use(express.methodOverride());
  app.use(express.compiler({ src: __dirname + '/public', enable: ['less'] }));
  app.use(app.router);
  app.use(express.staticProvider(__dirname + '/public'));
});
