LESS - Import Options Multiple Keyword

Description

The @import (multiple) keyword enables you to import multiple files with the same name. This works exactly opposite to once. This was released in version 1.4.0.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of multiple keyword in the LESS file −

<html>
   <head>
      <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" type = "text/css" />
      <title>Import Options Multiple</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <h1>Welcome to Tutorialspoint</h1>
      <p class = "para_1">LESS is a CSS pre-processor that enables customizable, 
      manageable and reusable style sheet for web site.</p>
      <p class = "para_2">LESS is a CSS pre-processor that enables customizable, 
      manageable and reusable style sheet for web site.</p>
   </body>
</html>

Next, create the style.less file.

style.less

@import (multiple) "http://www.tutorialspoint.com/less/multiple.less";
@import (multiple) "http://www.tutorialspoint.com/less/multiple.less";
.para_1 {
   color: red;
}

.para_2 {
   color: blue;
}

The following code will import the multiple.less file into style.less from the https://www.tutorialspoint.com/less/multiple.less path −

multiple.less

.style {
   font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
   font-size: 20px;
}

You can compile the style.less to style.css by using the following command −

lessc style.less style.css

Execute the above command; it will create the style.css file automatically with the following code −

style.css

.style {
   font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
   font-size: 20px;
}

.style {
   font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
   font-size: 20px;
}

.para_1 {
   color: red;
}

.para_2 {
   color: blue;
}
