1. Open up your design file in Figma.
2. Pick out the colors, typography, spacing, or any other design elements you want to turn into tokens.
3. Define these elements in your Figma file. Stick to consistent naming conventions like primary-color, base-font-size, spacing-small, etc.
4. Document these tokens on a separate Figma page or use a plugin like "Figma Tokens" for better organization.

1. Use the "Figma Tokens" plugin or manually export the design tokens.
2. Download the tokens in a JSON format or any other format that’s easy to convert to CSS variables.

1. Transform the exported JSON file into CSS variables. Here’s a basic example:

{
  "colors": {
    "primary-color": "#0065ff",
    "secondary-color": "#ff4081"
  },
  "typography": {
    "base-font-size": "16px",
    "heading-font-size": "24px"
  },
  "spacing": {
    "small": "8px",
    "medium": "16px",
    "large": "32px"
  }
}

Convert this JSON to CSS variables:

:root {
  --primary-color: #0065ff;
  --secondary-color: #ff4081;
  --base-font-size: 16px;
  --heading-font-size: 24px;
  --spacing-small: 8px;
  --spacing-medium: 16px;
  --spacing-large: 32px;
}

1. Copy the CSS variables block.
2. Open the main CSS file of your project (e.g., styles.css).
3. Paste the CSS variables block at the top of the file.

1. Replace the static values in your CSS with the new CSS variables. For example, instead of:

   button {
     background-color: #0065ff;
     color: white;
     font-size: 16px;
     padding: 8px 16px;
   }
   

   Use:

   button {
     background-color: var(--primary-color);
     color: white;
     font-size: var(--base-font-size);
     padding: var(--spacing-small) var(--spacing-medium);
   }
   

2. Repeat for other elements and properties throughout your CSS files.

1. If design tokens change in Figma, update the tokens and export them again.
2. Update your CSS variables in the main CSS file with the new values.
3. Ensure consistency by conducting regular audits of your design tokens and CSS variables.

This workflow integrates Figma’s design tokens into your CSS, ensuring a cohesive design system and making it easier to manage and update styles across your project.
