Compound Android

This module contains the theme tokens for the application, including those auto-generated from Compound and its mappings.

Usage

The module contains public tokens and color schemes that are later used in MaterialTheme and added to ElementTheme for use in the application.

All tokens can be accessed through the ElementTheme object, which contains the following properties:

  • ElementTheme.materialColors: contains all Material color tokens. In Figma, they're prefixed with M3/. It's an alias to MaterialTheme.colorScheme.
  • ElementTheme.colors: contains all Compound semantic color tokens. In Figma, they're prefixed with either Light/ or Dark/.
  • ElementTheme.typography: contains the Compound TypographyTokens values. In Figma, they're prefixed with Android/font/.

Adding new tokens

All new tokens should come from Compound and added to the compound.generated package. To map the literal tokens to the semantic ones, you'll have to update both compoundColorsLight and compoundColorsDark in CompoundColors.kt.

Releasing

To release a new version of the module, you'll have to:

  1. Update the version in compound/build.gradle.kts.
  2. Create a version-x.y.z branch and create a PR.
  3. When the PR is merged, a new tag will be created and the module will automatically be published to Maven Central.
