ESLint plugin

The essential plugin for use with the Atlassian Design System.

use-tokens-typography

Enforces the use of design tokens for typography properties.

Using design tokens results in a harmonious experience for end users whilst providing theming and consistency. Typography tokens are strongly recommended to further align our experiences and make future changes easier.

Note: This rule is fairly defensive when it comes to replacing values with tokens. It will only run over style blocks that contain a fontSize property. It will then attempt to match that font size to a token. If multiple matching tokens are found it then tries to match on font weight. If a token can be found to match the font size but not font weight, the token is applied and then a font weight token override is applied to ensure the tokenised styles match the original. One main exception is line height - this rule will match against tokens that have a different line height. Letter spacing values are also ignored.

Examples

Using anything other than design tokens such as hardcoded values or legacy theme constants will be considered violations.

Incorrect

import { fontSize } from '@atlaskit/theme/constants';

css({ fontSize: fontSize() });
                ^^^^^^^^^^

css({ fontSize: '14px' });
                ^^^^^^

css({
  fontSize: '14px',
            ^^^^^^
  lineHeight: '20px',
  fontWeight: 600
});

Correct

import { token } from '@atlaskit/tokens';

css({ font: token('font.heading.large') });

css({ font: token('font.body') });

Options

shouldEnforceFallbacks: Set to true to ensure token fallback values are added. Defaults to false.

enableUnsafeAutofix: Rule creates errors with autofixes instead of suggestions. Defaults to false.

patterns: Array of patterns to enable, new patterns will gradually be rolled out behind this config option. Available patterns style-object, font-weight, font-family, banned-properties, restricted-capitalisation. Defaults to enabling all patterns.
