🛠️ Usage

Design tokens can be imported as json, css variables or sass variables:

import * as tokens from "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/themes/default/tokens";

export const Button = styled.button`
    background-color: ${tokens.component.button.color.background};
`;

@import "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/themes/default/tokens.css";

.button {
    background-color: var(--kobber-component-button-color-background);
}

@use "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/themes/default/tokens.scss" as tokens;

.button {
    background-color: tokens.$component-button-color-background;
}

Typography can be applied directly to HTML using CSS classes or by using composes in css modules:

<style>@import "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/themes/default/typography.css";</style>

<h1 class="kobber-typography-heading-xl">Heading</h1>

.my-heading {
  composes: headingXxl from "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/themes/default/typography.module.css";
}

Also see the typography component from @gyldendal/kobber-components:

import { ThemeProvider, Typography } from "~@gyldendal/kobber-base/react";

<ThemeProvider variant="default">
    <Typography component="h1" variant="headingXxl" />
</TheThemeProviderme>

⚡ Quick how to: update tokens

1. In Figma, make sure "reference mode in variables" is enabled for the design tokens plugin
2. Export json from Figma
3. Replace json in tokens-from-figma.json
4. Run yarn build
5. Commit changes

🧱 Token folder structure

/
├── themes/
│   ├── 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 ./themes are auto generated and should never be edited manually.
