Description
I want to create a simple LESS plugin that create variables on a function call
I want to do this because i want to have a less variable dynamic on runtime (link of unanswered question on why i want to do that)
In short
i want to do this :
without having to do :
And just declare each variable once like :
And var() is the custom LESS plugin function i wanna make
What i tried
I tried to learn how to create plugin on lesscss.org, github.com, and on diverse site, but it's either just not enough, or really obscure on how to create variables
I also saw this blog post where he creates variables, but i tried every thing, and nothing worked
Finally
I just want some advices or code, and ideally an explanation on how tf it works
Thanks :)
