How can I minify CSS using `less` in `express-js`?

Question

  app.use(express.compiler({ src: __dirname + '/public', enable: ['less'] }));

That's the line in my app.js that enables less. How can I pass the { compress: true } parameter to it?

Answer 1

I also had this problem and thought this can be useful to share with others:

var lessMiddleware = require('less-middleware');
app.use(lessMiddleware({ src: __dirname + '/public', compress: true, optimization: 2 }));

More information and settings about the minify-process can be found in the Less-Middleware README.md
