Updates for “less-watch-compiler” — A utility that watches and auto-compiles LESS CSS files

I wrote a small nodejs utility 2 years ago. It basically watches a folder of LESS files and auto-compiles them into CSS files when changes are made. Since I posted this, usage of this utility picked up. Many users have sent some feedback to me on github but I hadn’t have time to resolve them until now So yesterday, I worked this and made some major improvements.

Here is a list of updates:

• Fixed the bug where subfolder changes are not detected
• Externalized configurations in json
• Introduced project-based JSON configuation files
• Refactored the code
• Added Mocha unit tests
• Added pcakage information for npm
• Posted project to npm
