LESS - URLs
Description
The variables can be used to hold the URLs.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of variables to hold URL in the LESS file −
<html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" type = "text/css" /> <title>LESS URLs</title> </head> <body> <div class = "myclass"> </div> </body> </html>
Now create the style.less file.
style.less
@images: "http://www.tutorialspoint.com"; .myclass { background : url("@{images}/less/images/less_variables/birds.jpg"); width:800px; height:500px; }
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
.myclass { background: url("http://www.tutorialspoint.com/less/images/less_variables/birds.jpg"); width: 800px; height: 500px; }
Output
Follow these steps to see how the above code works −
Save the above html code in the less_variables_interpolation_url.html file.
Open this HTML file in a browser, the following output will get displayed.
less_variables.htm
