AXA CH Design Tokens

The AXA CH Design Tokens project exports design tokens for use in multiple technologies. The following technologies are supported:

• CSS Variables + Media Queries with @custom-media
• SCSS Variables
• JS/TS Variables
• Tailwind Config

If you need our design tokens for a web project you might check this Online demo

Supported Tokens

The project supports the following design tokens:

• Animation: Variables needed to handle component animations.
• Breakpoints/Media Queries: AXA viewport breakpoints and additional media query utilities.
• Color: AXA colors.
• Radius: Box radius variables.
• Shadow: Box shadow variables.
• Spacing: AXA Design System spacing variables.
• Typography: AXA Design System font styles.

Installation

To install the AXA CH Design Tokens, run the following command:

npm i @axa-ch/design-tokens

Usage

To use the AXA CH Design Tokens in your project, import them based on your technology. Here are some implementation examples that may inspire you:

CSS Usage

You can import the CSS variables into your files as follows:

@import url('@axa-ch/design-tokens/tokens.css');

.component {
  width: var(--spacing-base-3);
}

Note that for CSS media queries via @custom-media you will need a postCSS plugin

@import url('@axa-ch/design-tokens/tokens.css');

.component {
  width: var(--spacing-base-3);

  @media (--mq-respond-up-sm) {
    width: var(--spacing-base-6);
  }
}

Plain CSS

If you want to simply import the pre-bundled css variables without relying on a build process, you can import the minified tokens.min.css file as follows:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="@axa-ch/design-tokens/tokens.min.css"
/>

Note that the css above doesn't contain @custom-media variables because this directive is not yet supported by any modern browser.

SCSS Usage

You can import the SCSS variables into your files as follows:

@use '@axa-ch/design-tokens/tokens.scss';

.component {
  width: tokens.$spacing-base-3;

  @media (tokens.$mq-respond-up-sm) {
    width: tokens.$spacing-base-6;
  }
}

In case you want to import and scope the css variables into your SCSS application, without relying on the :root global selector, you might want to use our mixins as follows:

@use '@axa-ch/design-tokens/tokens.scss';

.component {
  // scope the css variables under the .component class
  @include tokens.get-animation-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-breakpoints-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-color-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-radius-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-shadow-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-spacing-css-vars;
  @include tokens.get-typography-css-vars;
}

JS/TS Usage

You can import the JS variables into your files as follows:

import * as tokens from '@axa-ch/design-tokens';

console.log(tokens.ColorBaseAxaBlue);

The following theme config might be used as starter for your MUI theme

export default theme;

Tailwind Usage

You can extend your tailwind.config.js file as follows:

import axaBaseTailwindConfig from '@axa-ch/design-tokens/tailwind.config';
export default {
  presets: [axaBaseTailwindConfig],
  // ...
};

Figma usage

You can import the tokens.json into figma via Tokens Studio Plugin. This will allow to sync your figma library with the tokens exposed in this project.
