JSON View - Tokens Page

Token Sets are where our Design Tokens live in the Tokens Studio Plugin.

In code, , so you can think of a Token Set as the no-code version of a JSON file.

However if you are comfortable working in a code editor, the Plugin has a JSON view!

Access the JSON view

The actions at the top of the Tokens Page control how the Plugin displays the Tokens Sets and Design Tokens below.

Once you select a Token Set from the left-side menu, the Design Tokens living in that JSON file are displayed on the right.

  • The current Token Set selected will have the container previewing its name highlighted in blue.

  • Select the Token View toggle above the Tokens list on the right side to switch between the JSON and List view

Once the JSON view is open, you can apply Token data to your Figma design assets in the same way you can from the Token List View. However, you can not apply a new individual Token from the JSON view.

You can use the collapse Token Set toggle on the left side of the search input to hide the Token Set list in the left panel temporarily so you have more space to view your code files.

Any changes you make to Tokens in JSON view need to be saved using the action at the bottom of the plugin before toggling back to List view.
