Alias resolution with Style Dictionary about figma-plugin HOT 11 CLOSED

@dev-nicolaos updated. It's now optional

from figma-plugin.

Interesting. Thanks for feedback @cailborg
I'll check it out.
Which version of Style Dictionary do you use?

from figma-plugin.

Just latest at the moment, so 3.8.0

from figma-plugin.

Thank, and for which platform, CSS?
I'll check it in the morning 🙂

from figma-plugin.

Yep CSS and SCSS

from figma-plugin.

Should work fine, without value at the end. I've checked a test JSON file with Style Dictionary playground — here is a link
Looks like the reason in something else.

Also, I made Style Dictionary utils package. So, you can try to transform your tokens with it — https://github.com/tokens-bruecke/sd-utils

Here is a test repo with Github Actions — https://github.com/tokens-bruecke/tokens-deploy-with-actions

I made a custom build. In this build, the plugin will add .value at the end of the alias string.
Can you check if it works for you?

Also, might be the reason in this:
"$value": "{base.primary.yellow.value}"
that you're using DTCG format $value

from figma-plugin.

Added value or $value (if it's the DTCG format) at the end of the alias paths.

@PavelLaptev wouldn't it be more appropriate for this change to live in the style dictionary utils? The alias example provided by the spec does not append value to the end of an alias. Cobalt's (a DTCG parser) example matches the spec. Style dictionary is the only place I've seen so far where value is appended.

@dev-nicolaos thank you for your feedback. I think you're right. I'll leave adding value at the end of an alias optional.
