tokens.json file - how to?

[lmormol]

Hi 👋

examples/adobe/tokens.json

I'm wondering how did you generate such a beautiful JSON file like this ? 🤔

Is there a possibility to see the Figma file with this variables setup ?
Did you use any current existing Figma plugins to create that tokens.json ?

BR, Ł

No tools; just wrote a Node.js script to pull values from Adobe’s open-source Spectrum code on GitHub and put it in a JSON file. Then went back in and fixed it up manually in VS Code. A lot of ad-hoc string mashing and RegEx 😄

There’s no Figma file, though I am actively working on better Figma tooling to make that export process to design tokens JSON easier.

Thanks for an answer. I really appreciate your work on Cobalt UI!

One short note for a future readers ...

Few months later I've found Figma plugin called TokensBrücke which started support COBALT UI and allows for an export handling collection modes.

TokensBrucke is amazing! It’s actually listed in the docs now as a recommended Figma integration (Cobalt probably won’t ever have a Figma plugin, or at least not for a very long time)
