Custom format helpers

We provide some helper methods we use internally in some of the built-in formats to make building custom formats a bit easier.

They are accessible at style-dictionary/utils entrypoint, you can read more about them in the Utils -> Format Helpers docs.

import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
import { fileHeader, formattedVariables } from 'style-dictionary/utils';

StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
  name: 'myCustomFormat',
  format: async ({ dictionary, file, options }) => {
    const { outputReferences } = options;
    const header = await fileHeader({ file });
    return (
      header +
      ':root {\n' +
      formattedVariables({ format: 'css', dictionary, outputReferences }) +
      '\n}\n'
    );
  },
});
