Design tokens are a set of design standards used to ensure consistency across a product’s visual elements. They are a way of translating the design language into code, making it easier to ensure that the design system is implemented correctly. Design tokens can include things like colors, fonts, sizes, spacing, and more.
In Figma, design tokens can be used to make sure that all elements look and behave consistently across different screens and devices. By creating a set of reusable components with design tokens, it is much easier to keep your product’s look and feel consistent throughout its lifecycle.
Design tokens in Figma are created by assigning particular values to different properties of components. For example, if you want all buttons on your product’s website to have the same color, size and font-family, you can assign those values as design tokens in Figma. You can also create reusable components with those values assigned as design tokens for further reuse and consistency throughout the project.
To implement design tokens in Figma, first create a master component that contains all of the necessary design tokens for your project. These could include colors, fonts, sizes and spacing values; anything that needs to be consistent throughout your project should be included in this master component.
Once you have created this component in Figma, you can copy it whenever you need it and assign different values as needed. This allows for quick updates without needing to manually update each component individually every time there is an update needed.
The next step is to create the other components that will use these tokenized values. To do this, simply drag and drop the master component into each component where it needs to be used; this will automatically assign the correct tokenized value for each property of that component. This makes updating multiple components with new tokenized values much easier; instead of having to manually update each component individually every time there is an update needed you only need to change one master component which will then propagate out across all other components using it automatically.
Finally once all components have been updated with their corresponding tokenized values they should be tested across multiple browsers and devices to ensure consistency throughout. This ensures that no matter which device or browser someone uses they will see the same consistent look and feel across your product’s website or application interface – ensuring usability for everyone who visits or uses it!
Conclusion: Design Tokens provide an effective way for designers and developers alike to keep elements on their product’s website looking and behaving consistently across different screens and browsers – leading to better end user experiences! Implementing Design Tokens in Figma is quite simple; once a master component containing all of the necessary tokenized values has been created simply drag-and-drop this into other components where needed before testing them out across multiple devices for optimal consistency!
