3.LESS keeps your code in modular way which is really important by making it readable and easily changeable.
4.Faster maintenance can be achieved by the use of LESS variables.
Features:
1.Cleaner and more readable code can be written in an organized way.
2.We can define styles and it can be reused throughout the code.
3.LESS is based on JavaScript and is super set of CSS.
4.LESS is an agile tool that sorts out the problem of code redundancy.
Advantages:
1.LESS easily generates CSS that works across the browsers.
2.LESS enables you to write cleaner and well organized code by using nesting.
3.Maintenance can be achieved faster by the use of variables.
4.LESS enables you to reuse the whole classes easily by referencing them in your rule sets.
5.LESS provides the use of operations that makes coding faster and saves time.
System Requirements for LESS:
1.Operating System : Cross-platform
2.Browser Support: IE (Internet Explorer 8+), Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari.
Installation of LESS:
Step1:We need NodeJs to run LESS code. To download NodeJs, open the link https://nodejs.org/en/, you will see a page as shown below:
Download the Latest Features version:
Step2:Now, run the setup to install the Node.js on your system.
