JavaScript and TypeScript

Tokens are available as named suomifiDesignTokens export and can be imported to JavaScript and TypeScript files.

suomifiDesignTokens exports the design tokens as css formatted strings and in more granular format so that individual properties are available with values and units.

JavaScript example:

import { suomifiDesignTokens } from 'suomifi-design-tokens';

TypeScript example with typings:

import {
  suomifiDesignTokens,
  DesignTokens
} from 'suomifi-design-tokens';

const tokens: DesignTokens = suomifiDesignTokens;

🎨 Colors

Color tokens are available with colors property as css strings. Separated h, s and l values can be accessed through values property.

Excerpt from suomifiDesignTokens object:

exports.suomifiDesignTokens = {
  colors: {
    whiteBase: 'hsl(0, 0%, 100%)'
  },
  values: {
    colors: {
      whiteBase: { h: 0, s: 0, l: 100 }
    }
  }
};

JavaScript example:

const brandBaseLightness =
  suomifiDesignTokens.values.colors.brandBase.l;

const brandBaseCss = suomifiDesignTokens.colors.brandBase;

TypeScript example with typings:

import { ColorToken } from 'suomifi-design-tokens';

const brandBase: ColorToken =
  suomifiDesignTokens.values.colors.brandBase;
const brandBaseLightness: string = brandBase.l;

const brandBaseCSS: string = suomifiDesignTokens.colors.brandBase;

🖋 Typography

Typography tokens are available with typography property as css strings. Separated fontFamily, fontSize, lineHeight and fontWeight properties can be accessed through values property.
