# less-plugin-clean-css

Compresses the css output from less using [clean-css](https://github.com/jakubpawlowicz/clean-css).

## lessc usage

First of all install less via

```bash

npm install -g less

```

then install the `less-plugin-clean-css`

```bash

npm install -g less-plugin-clean-css

```

and then on the command line,

```bash

lessc file.less --clean-css="--s1 --advanced --compatibility=ie8"

```

See [clean-css](https://github.com/jakubpawlowicz/clean-css/tree/v3.0.1#how-to-use-clean-css-programmatically) for the

available command options - the only differences are `advanced` and `rebase` which we default to false, because it is

not always entirely safe.

## Programmatic usage

```js

var LessPluginCleanCSS = require('less-plugin-clean-css'),

    cleanCSSPlugin = new LessPluginCleanCSS({advanced: true});

less.render(lessString, {plugins: [cleanCSSPlugin]})

    .then(

```
