Implementing Design Tokens
Learn practical methods for defining, managing, and distributing design tokens across different platforms and technologies.
Tokens: Bringing Designs to Code
Welcome to Implementing Design Tokens! In the previous lesson, we learned what design tokens are. Now, let's get practical!
This lesson will show you how to define, manage, and distribute tokens so they can be used across different platforms like web and mobile apps.
Defining Your Core Tokens
Design tokens are typically defined in a structured, human-readable format, most commonly JSON or YAML. This central source acts as the single truth for all design values.
Here's a simple example of how you might define core color tokens:
{ "color": { "brand": { "primary": "#007bff", "secondary": "#6c757d" }, "text": { "default": "#333333", "subtle": "#666666" } }}All lessons in this course
