There are two basic conventions for writing design tokens:
- action.color.primary
- action-color-primary
I would prefer to use the option with ‘.’ for consistency wth our design token naming convention but this character is not supported
Question
Local variables uses '.' instead of '-' in variable name

Yeah I’m right with you. Atlassian’s design system appears to use that method as well but no idea how we follow-suit using Figma…

I actually just changed my whole token naming structure to fit with the Figma constraint now. (Fortunately we are only defining our tokens right now 😅)
So for Figma compatibility I am using ‘-’ instead of ‘.’ and CamelCase instead of spaces.
This should work for both Figma and our developers 🤞
eg. action-color-primary = ecoGreen-100
But still would be nice to use “.” 🤞
I added this to “Share an idea” if you want to vote 😀 Local variables uses ‘.’ instead of ‘-’ in variable name
