# tasks/config/less.js This file configures a Grunt task called "less". Its job is to compile your LESS files into a CSS stylesheet. By default, only the `assets/styles/importer.less` file is compiled. This allows you to control the ordering yourself, i.e. import your dependencies, mixins, variables, resets, etc. before your other more application-specific styles. This is entirely up to you, and based on the order with which write your `@import`s in your LESS file. ### But I'm not using LESS... No problem! If you aren't using _any_ preprocessor for your stylesheets, then just ignore this file. If you want to use a different pre-processor like [SASS](http://sass-lang.com/) or [Stylus](http://stylus-lang.com/), and you want Sails to process your stylesheets automatically as you work, then you're in luck. In most cases, this is as easy as installing the appropriate Grunt plugin as a dependency of your Sails app, and then configuring it to output compiled CSS to the same path as in this default task. Here are a couple of popular examples: + [grunt-sass](http://npmjs.com/package/grunt-sass) + [grunt-contrib-stylus](https://npmjs.com/package/grunt-contrib-stylus) ### Usage For additional usage documentation, see [`grunt-contrib-less`](https://npmjs.com/package/grunt-contrib-less).
