If your team is working with Styles in Figma, you can use the Tokens Studio Plugin to attach Design Tokens to Styles (and Variables). This allows you to manage your Tokens and Styles in the same place, and easily sync your design decisions to a code repository.
You can select a Token Type below to learn more about it.
| Figma Style Type | Token Type |
|---|---|
| Color Style | Color Token |
| Text Style | Typography Token |
| Effects Style | Box Shadow Token |

Which Token Types match the different Style types?
Tokens Studio supports 23 unique Token Types and there is only 4 Style Types. Head to the Export to Figma (overview) guide which shows the relationships.
I exported my Typography Tokens as Text Styles using the plugin, how can I get variables linked to the text properties of the styles in figma?
This workflow is covered in the comprehensive guide to creating Styles with Variable References.
I've imported styles with Variable values, why aren't the references in the Tokens created in Tokens Studio?
This is a known limitation of the Plugin.
You can still import them but any connection to Variables will need to be manually created. Head to the Import Styles guide for more details.
