## Overview

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the ROA2WEB design system. They are represented as CSS custom properties (`--token-name`) and ensure consistency across the application.

**Location:** `src/assets/css/core/variables.css` and `src/assets/css/core/tokens.css`

---

## Spacing Scale

| Token | Value | Pixels | Use Case |
|-------|-------|--------|----------|
| `--space-xs` | 0.25rem | 4px | Tight spacing, icon gaps, badges |
| `--space-sm` | 0.5rem | 8px | Default gap between related items |
| `--space-md` | 1rem | 16px | Standard component padding |
| `--space-lg` | 1.5rem | 24px | Section padding, card spacing |
| `--space-xl` | 2rem | 32px | Page margins, large separations |
| `--space-2xl` | 3rem | 48px | Major section gaps |
| `--space-3xl` | 4rem | 64px | Hero sections, page-level spacing |

**Usage:**
```css
.card {
  padding: var(--space-md);      /* 16px */
  margin-bottom: var(--space-lg); /* 24px */
}

.button-group {
  gap: var(--space-sm);           /* 8px */
}
```

## Utility Patterns

### Color With Opacity

```css
/* Use RGB values for transparency */
background: rgba(var(--color-primary-rgb), 0.1);
/* = rgba(37, 99, 235, 0.1) */

border-color: rgba(var(--color-success-rgb), 0.5);
/* = rgba(5, 150, 105, 0.5) */
```

### Status Background Colors (10% opacity)

| Token | Value | Use Case |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `--color-success-bg` | rgba(5, 150, 105, 0.1) | Success alerts background |
| `--color-warning-bg` | rgba(217, 119, 6, 0.1) | Warning alerts background |
| `--color-error-bg` | rgba(220, 38, 38, 0.1) | Error alerts background |
| `--color-info-bg` | rgba(8, 145, 178, 0.1) | Info alerts background |

### Monospace Font

```css
/* For numbers, code, metrics */
font-family: var(--font-mono);
/* = 'SF Mono', Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Menlo, Courier, monospace */
```

---

## Compatibility Aliases

For backwards compatibility with existing code:

| Alias | Maps To |
|-------|---------|
| `--primary-color` | `var(--color-primary)` |
| `--primary-color-dark` | `var(--color-primary-dark)` |
| `--text-color` | `var(--color-text)` |
| `--text-color-secondary` | `var(--color-text-secondary)` |

---

## Usage Examples

### Complete Button

```css
.btn-primary {
  /* Typography */
  font-size: var(--text-sm);
  font-weight: var(--font-medium);
  line-height: var(--leading-normal);

  /* Spacing */
  padding: var(--space-sm) var(--space-md);
  gap: var(--space-xs);

  /* Colors */
  background: var(--color-primary);
  color: var(--color-text-inverse);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-primary);

  /* Visual */
  border-radius: var(--radius-md);
  box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm);

  /* Interaction */
  transition: all var(--transition-fast);
}

.btn-primary:hover {
  background: var(--color-primary-dark);
  box-shadow: var(--shadow-md);
  transform: translateY(var(--hover-lift));
}
```

### Complete Card

```css
.card {
  /* Layout */
  padding: var(--card-padding);
  min-height: var(--card-min-height);
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: var(--card-gap);

  /* Colors */
  background: var(--color-bg);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-border);
  color: var(--color-text);

  /* Visual */
  border-radius: var(--card-radius);
  box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm);

  /* Interaction */
  transition: all var(--transition-fast);
}
```

---

## Best Practices

### ✅ Do

```css
/* Use tokens for all values */
.element {
  color: var(--color-text);
  font-size: var(--text-base);
  padding: var(--space-md);
  border-radius: var(--radius-md);
}

/* Combine tokens */
.card-padding {
  padding: var(--space-lg) var(--space-xl);
}
```

### ❌ Don't

```css
/* Don't hardcode values */
.element {
  color: #111827;           /* Use var(--color-text) */
  font-size: 16px;          /* Use var(--text-base) */
  padding: 16px;            /* Use var(--space-md) */
  border-radius: 8px;       /* Use var(--radius-md) */
}
```

## Dark Mode (ACTIVE)

ROA2WEB folosește un **sistem two-tier** pentru teme cu toggle manual în header.

### Theme Toggle UI

Butonul de temă din header ciclează prin 3 moduri:

| Mode | Icon | Label | Comportament |
|------|------|-------|--------------|
| `auto` | 🖥️ `pi-desktop` | "Tema: Auto (sistem)" | Urmează preferința OS |
| `light` | ☀️ `pi-sun` | "Tema: Light" | Forțează light mode |
| `dark` | 🌙 `pi-moon` | "Tema: Dark" | Forțează dark mode |

**Implementare:** `src/shared/components/layout/AppHeader.vue` (lines 137-175)

### Persistență

- **Key:** `localStorage['user-theme']`
- **Values:** `'light'`, `'dark'`, sau absent (= auto)
- **Init:** La mount, aplică tema salvată

### CSS Priority Order

```
1. [data-theme="dark/light"]  →  Manual override (highest)
2. @media (prefers-color-scheme)  →  System preference (fallback)
3. :root (light)  →  Default
```

### How It Works

```css
/* 1. Default light mode */
:root {
  --surface-card: #ffffff;
  --text-color: #111827;
}

/* 2. Manual dark override (user clicks toggle) */
[data-theme="dark"] {
  --surface-card: #1e293b;
  --text-color: #f9fafb;
}

/* 3. Auto-detect (when mode=auto + OS dark) */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root:not([data-theme]) {
    --surface-card: #1e293b;
    --text-color: #f9fafb;
  }
}
```

### Key Dark Mode Tokens

| Token | Light | Dark | Purpose |
|-------|-------|------|---------|
| `--surface-card` | #ffffff | #1e293b | Card/container backgrounds |
| `--surface-ground` | #f8fafc | #0f172a | Page background |
| `--surface-hover` | #f1f5f9 | #334155 | Hover states |
| `--surface-border` | #e2e8f0 | #475569 | Borders |
| `--text-color` | #111827 | #f9fafb | Primary text |
| `--text-color-secondary` | #6b7280 | #d1d5db | Secondary text |

### Color Scales for Status

Each color has a full scale (50-900) that inverts appropriately in dark mode:

| Color | Light Background | Dark Background | Use Case |
|-------|-----------------|-----------------|----------|
| `--green-50/100` | Light green bg | Dark green bg | Success backgrounds |
| `--green-500/600` | Green text/icons | Same | Success accents |
| `--yellow-50/100` | Light yellow bg | Dark yellow bg | Warning backgrounds |
| `--yellow-500/600` | Yellow text/icons | Same | Warning accents |
| `--red-50/100` | Light red bg | Dark red bg | Error backgrounds |
| `--red-500/600` | Red text/icons | Same | Error accents |

### Testing Dark Mode

**IMPORTANT:** Testează întotdeauna ambele scenarii!

1. **Toggle manual:** Click buton temă în header (ciclează auto→light→dark)
2. **DevTools:** Rendering → Emulate CSS media → `prefers-color-scheme: dark`
3. **Playwright:** `await page.emulateMedia({ colorScheme: 'dark' })`
4. **System:** Change OS dark mode setting

## Material Design 3 Tokens

ROA2WEB implementează **Material Design 3 (MD3)** color tokens pentru componente mobile și touch-friendly. Aceste tokens urmează convenția de denumire MD3 și se mapează la token-urile existente pentru consistență.

**Location:** `src/assets/css/core/md3-tokens.css`

**Reference:** [Material Design 3 Color System](https://m3.material.io/styles/color/system/overview)

### MD3 Color Token Overview

MD3 folosește un sistem de culori bazat pe **roluri semantice** în loc de valori specifice. Fiecare culoare principală are variante asociate:

| Prefix | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `--md-sys-color-{name}` | Culoarea principală pentru acel rol |
| `--md-sys-color-on-{name}` | Text/iconițe PE acea culoare (contrast garantat) |
| `--md-sys-color-{name}-container` | Background mai subtle pentru componente |
| `--md-sys-color-on-{name}-container` | Text pe container (contrast garantat) |

### Primary Colors

| MD3 Token | Light Mode Maps To | Dark Mode Maps To | Use Case |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|----------|
| `--md-sys-color-primary` | `--color-primary` | `--primary-300` | FAB, prominent buttons, active states |
| `--md-sys-color-on-primary` | `--color-text-inverse` | `--primary-900` | Text/icons on primary color |
| `--md-sys-color-primary-container` | `--primary-100` | `--primary-700` | Chips, cards with primary tint |
| `--md-sys-color-on-primary-container` | `--primary-900` | `--primary-100` | Text on primary container |

### Secondary Colors

| MD3 Token | Light Mode Maps To | Dark Mode Maps To | Use Case |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|----------|
| `--md-sys-color-secondary` | `--color-secondary` | `--gray-300` | Less prominent components |
| `--md-sys-color-on-secondary` | `--color-text-inverse` | `--gray-900` | Text/icons on secondary |
| `--md-sys-color-secondary-container` | `--gray-100` | `--gray-700` | Secondary component backgrounds |
| `--md-sys-color-on-secondary-container` | `--gray-900` | `--gray-100` | Text on secondary container |

### Surface Colors

| MD3 Token | Light Mode Maps To | Dark Mode Maps To | Use Case |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|----------|

### Error Colors

| MD3 Token | Light Mode Maps To | Dark Mode Maps To | Use Case |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|----------|
| `--md-sys-color-error` | `--color-error` | `--red-300` | Error states, destructive actions |

/* Light: fundal roșu deschis, text roșu închis */
/* Dark: fundal roșu închis, text roșu deschis */
.md3-error-message {
  background: var(--md-sys-color-error-container);
  color: var(--md-sys-color-on-error-container);
  border: 1px solid var(--md-sys-color-error);
}
```

**Exemplu 4: Elevated surface cu tonal levels**

```css
/* Folosește suprafețe tonale în loc de shadow pentru elevație */
.md3-bottom-sheet {
  background: var(--md-sys-color-surface-container-low);
}

.md3-dialog {
  background: var(--md-sys-color-surface-container-high);
}

.md3-navigation-drawer {
  background: var(--md-sys-color-surface-container);
}
```

**Exemplu 5: Scrim pentru modal overlay**

```css
.md3-modal-backdrop {
  background: var(--md-sys-color-scrim);
  /* Light: rgba(0,0,0,0.32) - semi-transparent */
  /* Dark: rgba(0,0,0,0.64) - more opaque for better contrast */
}
```

### When to Use MD3 Tokens vs Existing Tokens

| Scenario | Recommended Tokens |
|----------|-------------------|
| Mobile-first components | MD3 tokens (`--md-sys-color-*`) |
| Touch-friendly UI | MD3 tokens |
| Desktop components | Existing tokens (`--color-*`, `--surface-*`) |
| Legacy code | Existing tokens |
| New cross-platform components | MD3 tokens (better dark mode support) |

### CSS Priority for Dark Mode

MD3 tokens urmează aceeași ordine de prioritate ca restul sistemului:

```css
/* 1. Manual override (highest priority) */
[data-theme="dark"] {
  --md-sys-color-primary: var(--primary-300);
}

/* 2. System preference (fallback when no manual theme) */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root:not([data-theme]) {
    --md-sys-color-primary: var(--primary-300);
  }
}

/* 3. Default light mode */
:root {
  --md-sys-color-primary: var(--color-primary);
}
```
