Design tokens are the atomic values of your design system—colors, spacing, typography, shadows. They're platform-agnostic and enable consistency across web, mobile, and design tools.
A well-structured token system has three layers:
{
"blue-500": "#3b82f6",
"space-4": "16px",
"font-size-lg": "18px"
}
{
"color-primary": "{blue-500}",
"spacing-component": "{space-4}",
"text-body": "{font-size-lg}"
}
{
"button-background": "{color-primary}",
"button-padding": "{spacing-component}",
"button-font-size": "{text-body}"
}
:root {
/ Primitives /
--blue-500: #3b82f6;
/ Semantic /
--color-primary: var(--blue-500);
/ Component /
--button-bg: var(--color-primary);
}
.button {
background: var(--button-bg);
}
Use the Tokens Studio plugin to export tokens:
