Kaizen Tokens

Design tokens for all platforms.

About

Design Tokens are the heart of every Design System. The tokens represented here are platform-agnostic (JSON), as this will help us contribute to & facilitate the maintenance of living style guides. This package defines all the option tokens in Kaizen.

In its current state this package supports Sass and Less variables, generated from a JSON tokens file.

Please note that the helpers in this package are specifically for accessing and using these design tokens. Component-specific helpers are best suited for kaizen-component-library.

Installation

yarn add @cultureamp/kaizen-design-tokens

Usage

Sass

## Note helper functions are provided
@import "~@cultureamp/kaizen-design-tokens/sass/[color/depth/layout/spacing/typography/helpers]";

Less

## Note helper functions are provided
@import "~@cultureamp/kaizen-design-tokens/less/[color/depth/layout/spacing/typography/helpers]";

Javascript

import * as tokens from @cultureamp/kaizen-design-tokens/tokens/[color/depth/layout/spacing/typography]

Where possible, we keep things unitless.

When adding support for another target the transformation should add the appropriate unit to the artefact. For example, converting typography sizes to Sass/Less should add REM.

Web

All values in tokens are represented as rem, em or px.

* Use REMs for sizes and spacing (grid).
* Use EMs for media queries.
* Use px for borders.
