I am using bootstrap and less.
I want one of my class to inherit from a bootstrap class. The problem is I am using bootstrap from a cdn and don't want to have any bootsrap file locally.
Is it possible to import a css class from a cdn file using less or inherit a class which is not in the file ?
You don't have to install anything. Just download the less file you want to use from GitHub and import it:
@import (reference) "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twbs/bootstrap/master/less/buttons.less";
Less Import
But I don’t think that's a good idea anyway. Less will have to request that file every time you compile.
The question has been answered by seven-phases-max.
Less support import of file by url. You just have to tagg it as a less file, like this :
@import (less) "//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.css";
Example here. Then you can reference to the class imported via url.
It is working, but inheriting a bootstrap class does not import all of the class feature. I inherited all my input with the class .form-control. Some of the features of the bootstrap form-control where imported (size, rounded corner) and others don't (blue light when selected). More about this here.
input[type="text"]{
.form-control;
width: 50%;
}
