Style Dictionary as an npm module

This example shows how to set up a style dictionary as an npm module, either to publish to a local npm service or to publish externally.

When you publish this npm module, the prepublishOnly hook will run, calling the style dictionary build system to create the necessary files.

Running the example

First of all, set up the required dependencies running the command npm install in your local CLI environment (if you prefer to use yarn, update the commands accordingly).

At this point, run npm run build. This command will generate the files in the build folder.

What to look at

Open the package.json file and see how in this specific example there is an extra prepublishOnly command script, that builds the dictionary.

This command is run automatically before the package is prepared and packed via the npm publish command.
