Tokens in Nova

This section explains how design tokens move from Figma to code, ensuring a smooth collaboration between designers and developers.

From Design to Code

The Nova Design System ensures a smooth workflow from design to development:

  1. Tokens are defined in Figma → Designers work with a predefined set of tokens.
  2. Tokens are exported as JSON → This makes them platform-agnostic.
  3. CSS Variables are generated → Making tokens reusable in code.
  4. TailwindCSS Utility Classes are created → Developers use these to quickly apply styles.
