{"id":27114,"library":"ljr-cli","title":"ljr-cli","description":"ljr-cli is a command-line tool (v1.0.17) that serves as a convenience wrapper for Less CSS compilation and watching. It requires global installations of `less` and `less-watch-compiler`. Limited functionality and niche use case; primarily a meta-package or personal scaffolding tool. Release cadence unknown; appears inactive with basic features. Differentiator: minimal dependency setup for Less workflows, but offers little beyond standard tooling.","status":"active","version":"1.0.17","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":null,"tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install ljr-cli","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add ljr-cli","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add ljr-cli","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[],"quickstart":{"code":"npm install -g less\nnpm install -g less-watch-compiler\nnpm install -g ljr-cli\n# Compile and watch:\nljr-cli src/less dist/css","lang":"javascript","description":"Installs required global tools and runs ljr-cli to compile and watch Less files."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Upgrade Node to ^20.19.0 or ^22.12.0.","message":"Requires Node >=20.19.0 or >=22.12.0 due to engine specification.
