Design tokens

Quick how to: update tokens

1. Export json from Figma
2. Replace json in tokens-from-figma.json
3. Run yarn build
4. Commit changes

Token folder structure

/
├── output/
│   ├── tokens.css
│   ├── tokens.scss
│   └── token.json
├── build-tokens.ts
├── config.ts
└── tokens-from-figma.json

We use style-dictionary to transform and format the tokens in ./tokens-from-figma.json.

In ./config.ts we decide which formats we want (css, scss, js and more), and in ./build-tokens.ts we can create formatters and use other utilities to change the output how we want.

The files in ./output are auto generated and should never be edited manually.
