## 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`

| `--space-md` | 1rem | 16px | Standard component padding |
| `--space-lg` | 1.5rem | 24px | Section padding, card spacing |

## 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 (Future)
Dark mode tokens are defined in `variables.css` using `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)`. When enabled, tokens automatically switch to dark variants.
