Design System Concepts

Theme

Theme is just a map of tokens & components

{ tokens: { ... }, components: { ... }}

Theme can be accessed from useTheme hook, which gets access to theme object from the ThemeContext. You only need this while creating atoms or molecules.

Tokens

Tokens is a map of values which allow us to build a contraint based design. There is a mapping of CSS properties with the tokens, which can be found in helpers/constants. Every component in the design system is able to resolve the styles against these tokens. Lets see some examples -

Example -

1. marginTop: 1

   Since marginTop is mapped to tokens.space

   This will resolve to marginTop: tokens.space[1] => marginTop: 8px

2. background : "pink.light"

   Since background is mapped to tokens.colors

   This will resolve to background: tokens.colors.pink.light => background: #ffc0d6

Every component in the design system is able to resolve the styles

Shortcuts

There are shortcuts configured as well which are defined in helpers/constants

Example -

marginX: ...

will be resolved to -

marginLeft: ... ,
marginRight: ...

Advanced

We can resolve tokens within a string as well like -

Example-

border: {{lineThickness.1}} solid {{colors.pink.light}}

This resolves to

border: {{lineThickness.1}} solid {{colors.pink.light}}

Any valid key between {{ }} will be resolved against token values.
