# LESS imports from Mediawiki-core
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- mediawiki.mixins
|
|
|
|
|
- mediawiki.mixins.less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are LESS files containing one-line imports that correspond to files in
|
|
|
|
|
mediawiki-core. This file structure is required to mimick ResourceLoaders
|
|
|
|
|
LESS module-import behaviour.

ResourceLoader can resolve LESS modules with file paths like
|
|
|
|
|
`@import 'mediawiki.skin.variables.less';`. Webpack however, cannot do this
|
|
|
|
|
easily. The default LESS resolver requires files ending in ".less", and
|
|
|
|
|
although webpack can create an alias to a module, that alias cannot include
|
|
|
|
|
a path separator.

The webpack LESS-loader treats imports that don't begin with a relative or
|
|
|
|
|
absolute filepath as coming from the current directory (.i.e. "./").
|
|
|
|
|
However it provides an option to specify a custom module resolution path.
|
|
|
|
|
That path is set to this folder, and LESS files that can't be resolved by
|
|
|
|
|
either relative or absolute paths are searched for here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since this custom resolver requires also requires a ".less" extension,
|
|
|
|
|
files are duplicated so that "mediawiki.mixins" and "mediawiki.mixins.less"
|
|
|
|
|
can both be resolved.
