About:
Style Dictionary is a build system that transforms design tokens—variables like colors, fonts, and spacing—into platform-specific assets. It enables a single source of truth for design systems, generating code for iOS, Android, web, and other platforms. Its main value is automating the consistency of styles across multiple applications and codebases.
Key Features:
  • Transforms design tokens into platform-specific code (CSS, JSON, XML, Swift, etc.)
  • Supports multi-platform output for web, iOS, Android, and more from a single source
  • Extensible with custom formats, transforms, and file templates
  • Integrates with design tools like Figma via plugins and the Style Dictionary CLI
Use Cases:
  • Building and maintaining a consistent multi-platform design system
  • Automating the generation of style guides and UI component libraries
  • Synchronizing design tokens from tools like Figma into production code
Alternatives:
  • Theo – A design token transformer by Salesforce, more focused on a specific JSON schema and less extensible than Style Dictionary
  • Diez – A compiler-driven design system framework that generates native SDKs, with a steeper learning curve compared to Style Dictionary's configuration-based approach
