Design Tokens for Dialtone

Design tokens for Dialpad's design system Dialtone and everything related to building and publishing them.

Design tokens are all the defined values that are part of the design system, such as color, spacing, typography, and more. The goal is to store design tokens as JSON and output and publish them to many different formats (CSS, LESS, Android, iOS, etc.) upon build.

Usage

To use Dialtone Tokens in your project:

Web (npm)

Install Dependency

npm install @dialpad/dialtone-tokens

Import CSS Tokens

@import "@dialpad/dialtone-tokens/dist/tokens-base-light.css"; // Light variables
@import "@dialpad/dialtone-tokens/dist/tokens-base-dark.css";  // Dark variables

dialtone-tokens provides a postcss plugin that you can use to convert all tokens using rem to px. This could be useful if you are using dialtone in an embedded situation where you don't have control over the root font size.

You can reference this script from:

• @dialpad/dialtone-tokens package: @dialpad/dialtone-tokens/dist/postcss/rem-to-px.js
• @dialpad/dialtone package: @dialpad/dialtone/tokens/postcss/rem-to-px.js

To use this script you will have to run it as part of your build process on the tokens files you are importing. There are various ways to run postcss as part of your build process, please see the documentation here: https://github.com/postcss/postcss?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

Use CSS Token

.my-css-class {
  color: var(--dt-color-purple-200)
}

Or

Import LESS Tokens

@import "@dialpad/dialtone-tokens/dist/less/tokens-base-light.less"; // Light variables
@import "@dialpad/dialtone-tokens/dist/less/tokens-base-dark.less";  // Dark variables
