Design tokens for Expedite, Niche's design system.

Design tokens originated at Salesforce, and the best way to describe them is to simply quote their documentation:

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the design system — specifically, they are named entities that store visual design attributes. We use them in place of hard-coded values (such as hex values for color or pixel values for spacing) in order to maintain a scalable and consistent visual system for UI development – Salesforce UX

Installation

Expedite design tokens are only available from this GitHub repository.

The recommended way to use and install design tokens may vary depending on your project, but since the built output is available in this repo you can add this repo directly to your package.json.

Usage

To run the gulp process:

git clone https://github.com/nicheinc/expedite-tokens.git
git cd expedite-tokens
npm i
npm run dist

Contributing

The purpose of this repository is to see the core design elements of the Expedite design system evolve and improve over time with the needs of developers, designers and partners in mind.

We gratefully accept impromptu contributions to the documentation, typo and bug fixes, and expect design token requests and changes to be discussed before a pull request.
