##Introduction
Perkins 2 aims to help those who do not fear using some commands and feel like a pro in the process by generating a Perkins Framework structure.
In other words, Perkins 2 is a CLI utility made with NodeJS to make your life a little bit easier. Also you could say it's the Compass of LESS or at least it wants to be :P
###Perkins v2.0.3
- Setup a new folder with the Framework in it
- Serve any folder with the integrated Preview HTTP Server
- Watch changes on app.less and output them to out/stylesheets/style.css
Note: the server plays nice with LESS.js so the function less.watch(); works just fine (this means automatic page changes on save on multiple devices (just like Adobe Shadow) ;)
BTW If you aren't a command-line type of guy/girl you definitely have to use Crunch App made by Matt and Matt.
##Installation
First step you need to install NodeJS then npm finally just run:
$ sudo npm install -g perkins
##Usage
Usage: perkins [command] --options <dir>
Commands:
preview [path]
This option create a Perkins Preview HTTP Server
setup <path>
Just relax let me take care of building a version of ... well me.
watch <path>
Watch changes on app.less and output them to out/stylesheets/style.css
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-p, --port <port> specify the port [8000]
-m, --min minifies every less into out/style.css
-v, --verbose output incoming requests.
##TODO
- Update the p.erkins.com website ;)
- Make improvements over the 'watch' feature and the out/ dir
