Import load order

Loading order for @import "{name}"; on file at {path}

1. Local file at {path}/{name}.less
2. Classpath resource (io/resource "{name}.less")
3. Classpath resource (io/resource "{path}/{name}.less")
4. Webjar asset
   • Resource META-INF/resources/webjars/{package}/{version}/{path} can be referred using {package}/{path}
   • For example @import "bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less"; will import META-INF/resources/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.6/less/bootstrap.less

FAQ

Semantic-UI theme.config

Semantic-UI needs theme.config file in your project. Add this file to your classpath under path META-INF/resources/webjars/semantic-ui/2.2.10/src/theme.config, e.g under resources/ folder.

Log configuration

If you don't have any slf4j implementations you will see a warning:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

To disable this add a no operation logger to your project. As this is only required on build phase, you can use :scope "test" so that the dependency is not transitive and is not included in uberjar. Alternatively you can add this dependency to your Leiningen dev profile.

[org.slf4j/slf4j-nop "1.7.13" :scope "test"]
