Using a local version of less.js

[David Janas]

We've found that the cdn for less has been slowing requests to our application so we wanted to move to a local copy of it. I'm having a pretty hard time getting that to work though. I know you can give the options a lessUrl which i've done but I still get the error 'window.less.modifyVars' is not a function.

Any guidance on this issue?

less is dependency for this plugin to you may try importing less. That may improve.

import less from 'less';


less.modifyVars()```

@himadrinath I try less3.x(2.x is work fine),but no matter whether it is import less from 'less' or URL,I can't use less .modifyVars , has an error of chrome devtools Inline JavaScript is not enabled. Is it set in your options?

In your options you can add this line

lessUrl: '/less.min.js',

then add the less file inside the public folder
