Using Style Dictionary to transform Tailwind config into SCSS variables, CSS custom properties, and JavaScript via design tokens

Design tokens are machine-readable representations of a brand's design language, typically things like font families, font scales, colours, a sizing scale and so on. The key thing is that they are stored in a technology-and-platform-agnostic format like JSON or YAML, and then transformed into more specific formats (like hex colours for web in a JavaScript object, dp dimensions for Android development, or a Sketch colour palette file) by automated tooling. The idea is that whether you're making a website, Android app, slide deck, or print brochure you can always consume this JSON or YAML file, transform the design tokens to the format that suits your project, and avoid any hard-coded values or manual transformations.
