Using the tokens

Tokens are available for web platforms for now and can be included in your project as JS, CSS variables, or SCSS variables and mixins.

JS

import { color, size } from "novo-design-tokens";

document.querySelector("#el").style.backgroundColor = color.entity.candidate;
document.querySelector("#el").style.color = color.grass.contrast;
document.querySelector("#el").style.padding = size.spacing.lg;

CSS with webpack

Import the available variables.css or variables.min.css file. Imported CSS variables will be applied to the :root element.

// import all tokens
import "novo-design-tokens/css/variables.css";

SCSS

The design tokens are also shipped with utility mixins to make it easier to apply design tokens to your components.

@use "novo-design-tokens/scss";

.mything {
  margin-right: 0.8rem;
}

.box {
  @include background-color(gray);
  @include color(gray, "contrast");
  @include padding("md");

  // padding: 0.6rem;
  padding-top: $spacing-md;
  color: rgba($candidate, 0.3);
  @include margin("xs");
  @include background-color(blue, "dark");
  border: 2px solid getColor(gray, "light");

  &:hover {
    color: darken($candidate, 0.13333);
  }
}

.text {
  color: $candidate;
  @include color(blue); // base
  &.xs {
    @include font("xs");
  }
  &.sm {
    @include font("sm");
  }
  &.md {
    @include font("md");
  }
  &.lg {
    @include font("lg");
  }
  &.xl {
    @include font("xl");
  }
}
