Configuration

Style Dictionary can output design tokens for multiple platforms from a single source.

Add your platform to config.js. For example, a web platform with a built in format and a custom format:

"platforms": {
  "web": {
    "transformGroup": "js",
    "files": [
      {
        "format": "javascript/es6",
        "destination": "theme.ts"
      },
      {
        "format": "myCustomFormat",
        "destination": "myCustomFormat.ts"
      },
    ]
  }
}

Custom formats

Create a file for your platform (e.g ios.js) in scripts/formats.

const registerFormats = (StyleDictionary) => {
  StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
    name: 'ios/swift-custom-formatter',
    formatter: function ({ options }) {
      return `
        
      `;
    }
  });
  
  // Register more formats here
};

export default registerFormats;

Add the formatter to the platform's files array in config.js:

"platforms": {
  "files": [
    {
      "format": "ios/swift-custom-formatter",
      "destination": "MyCustomFormat.swift"
    }
  ]
}

Usage

1. Export tokens from Figma using the Design tokens plugin.

2. Place the exported .json file(s) into input/themes/[themeName].

3. Commit the changes, and GitLab CI will:

   • Run Style Dictionary transforms on the tokens.
   • Publish a new release of the package to NPM.

Once published, the updated theme will be available in the next version.
