Design Tokens & Component Libraries: Bridging Figma to React Code

1. What are Design Tokens?

Design tokens are platform-agnostic key-value pairs representing design decisions (colors, radii, spacing, fonts) usable across Figma, web, and mobile platforms.

2. Automating Design Token Pipelines

Use CI tools to export tokens directly from Figma files into CSS variables or Tailwind configuration files automatically.
