Patternfly Design Tokens

Usage

yarn build:scss to build the SCSS files to the /build directory

By default yarn build:scss outputs the SCSS with :root as a selector, but you can also pass the --selector flag (or just -s for short) and specify any selector you want, i.e. yarn build:scss -s .foo will replace the :root selector with .foo in the generated SCSS files. yarn build:docs and yarn serve:docs will build and run the docs locally.

Note

We are temporarily pushing the built SCSS files to the repo for ease of access. Additional PRs should rebuild and repush updated SCSS files if they would be affected by the PR changes, to keep them up to date.

Docs build

Whenever yarn build:docs is executed:

• the build-js-for-docs.js script is run to turn the scss files into a javascript object.
• The javascript object is stored in the scssAsJson.json file.
• The code for generating the table containing all tokens is the tokensTable.js, which consumes the javascript object from scssAsJson.json as data.
• Ultimately, the markdown file which is rendering the docs is all-patternfly-tokens.md. This markdown file imports the tokensTable.js.
