So I'm currently using .Less and want to create a get command to read the .less attributes and push them to an object so that I can then use this data in an angularJS directive. But I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to approach this.

Example .less file contains this:

@lightBg: #f5f8f9;  
@lightText: #f5f8f9;  
@semiLightText: #e7e7e7;  
@semiLightBg: #e7e7e7;

The idea is to get the data from this file and push the data into an object like so: 

{name:"@lightBg", hex:"#f5f8f9"};

Example get command in angular so far: 

 $scope.hexcss = {};
     $http.get('mixins.less').then((response) => {
     });

Any guidance on the best way to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!

  • Might be a better idea to do something like this: jonathanfielding.com/…. Instead doing an HTTP request each time you those less variables, as your less is compiled once, you should be able to get your variables as JSON once :). Commented Jun 2, 2017 at 11:44

  • See github.com/Craga89/less-plugin-variables-output. Though usually it's more efficient to do the opposite: have a JSON with your custom color and apply them to your Less project/theme during compilation. Commented Jun 2, 2017 at 16:53
