In this chapter, we will understand how Loops work in LESS. Loops statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times. Various iterative/loop structures can be created when recursive mixin combine with Guard Expressions and Pattern Matching.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of loops in the LESS file −
loop_example.htm
<!doctype html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" type = "text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class = "cont"> <h2>Welcome to TutorialsPoint</h2> <p>The largest Tutorials Library on the web. </p> </div> </body> </html>
Next, create the style.less file.
style.less
.cont(@count) when (@count > 0) { .cont((@count - 1)); width: (25px * @count); } div { .cont(7); }
You can compile the style.less file to style.css by using the following command −
lessc style.less style.css
Execute the above command; it will create the style.css file automatically with the following code −
style.css
div { width: 25px; width: 50px; width: 75px; width: 100px; width: 125px; width: 150px; width: 175px; }
Output
Follow these steps to see how the above code works −
-
Save the above html code in the loop_example.htm file.
-
Open this HTML file in a browser, the following output will get displayed.
