**Note:** This is specific to the .less style syntax.

It's the LESS counterpart to [detective](https://github.com/substack/node-detective), [detective-amd](https://github.com/dependents/node-detective-amd), and [detective-es6](https://github.com/dependents/node-detective-es6).

* The AST is generated using the [gonzales-pe](https://github.com/tonyganch/gonzales-pe) parser.

## Usage

```js
const fs = require('fs');
const detective = require('@dependents/detective-less');

const content = fs.readFileSync('styles.less', 'utf8');

// list of imported file names (ex: 'foo.less', 'foo', etc)
const dependencies = detective(content);

// or to also detect any url() references to images, fonts, etc.
const allDependencies = detective(content, { url: true });
```

### Options

* `url` (optional): (`Boolean`) also detect any `url()` references to images, fonts, etc.
