README
Prism is a Design System code generator developed by the team at Gett 🚕.
Synchronizing design teams with engineering teams is a huge challenge.
As teams scale, new growing pains start around how to properly align colors, text styles, spacing and other design details between teams, in a uniform way, from a single source of truth.
Prism was built to solve this very problem! It takes either Zeplin project/styleguide or a set of Figma files as input, and generates any output code you want from these based on a set of templates in your project, resulting in cross-platform code that is always synchronized from a single source-of-truth (Your design files).
Prism is especially useful when used in your CI/CD process to remove the friction of design handoff and review, and making sure all of your teams are properly synchronized in regards to naming, values, and more.
## Getting Started

### 🌈 Getting Prism
There are five options to install prism:
1. **Install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)**: `brew install GettEngineering/tap/prism`
1. **Install using [Mint](https://github.com/yonaskolb/Mint)**: `mint install GettEngineering/Prism`
1. **Build from source**: `make install`
1. **Run directly with SPM**: `swift run prism generate`
1. [**Running on Windows**](#running-on-windows-experimental) _(experimental)_
### 🔑 Getting a Provider API Token
#### Figma
To use Prism with Figma, you'll need to generate a Personal Access Token (JWT) to Figma's API by going to [https://www.figma.com](https://www.figma.com). Then, go the **Settings** section under your profile:
Scroll to the bottom of the **Account** tab, find the **Personal access tokens** section, and create your new token:
You'll need to expose this token to run the `prism` CLI tool. Make sure you have a `FIGMA_TOKEN` environment variable with your token configured.
When running `prism` in a CI environemnt, we recommend adding `FIGMA_TOKEN` as an Environment Secret.
When using `prism` locally or bootstrapping your project for the first time, you can simply run `export FIGMA_TOKEN='zeplin_personal_token'` before running `prism` locally.
#### Zeplin
To use Prism with Zeplin, you'll need to generate a Personal Access Token (JWT) to Zeplin's API by going to [https://app.zeplin.io/profile/developer](https://app.zeplin.io/profile/developer) and click the **Create new token** button in the **Personal access tokens** section:
You'll need to expose this token to run the `prism` CLI tool. Make sure you have a `ZEPLIN_TOKEN` environment variable with your token configured.
When running `prism` in a CI environemnt, we recommend adding `ZEPLIN_TOKEN` as an Environment Secret.
When using `prism` locally or bootstrapping your project for the first time, you can simply run `export ZEPLIN_TOKEN='zeplin_personal_token'` before running `prism` locally.
### 👢 Bootstrap Prism for your Project
Inside your project folder, run `prism init`.
It will guide you through selecting a Zeplin project/styleguide, or a set of Figma files as source along with other useful information for proper code generation. Once `prism init` is successful, you'll find a new `.prism` folder with a `config.yml` file outlining your preferences.
### 🎨 Creating Templates
Prism uses templates with the `.prism` suffix located in your project's `.prism` folder. These Prism templates are basically plain text files — Prism doesn't really care what format or language you use, it can make _any kind of output_ as long as you can express it in a Prism template file.
Prism looks for something called [**Tokens**](Documentation/Tokens.md) inside your templates. These tokens follow the following format: `{{%token%}}`. You can find a couple of sample templates in the [Examples](https://github.com/gtforge/Prism/tree/main/Examples) folder.
Here are two short example of generating colors code for iOS and Android using Prism templates.
**Colors.swift.prism**:
**colors.xml.prism**:
## Development
* Run `make` or `make install` to build a release binary of the `prism` CLI tool and install it to **/usr/local/bin**.
* Run `make build` to build a release binary of the `prism` CLI tool
* Run `make project` to create an Xcode project and start working.
* Run `make test` to run all tests.
* Run `make clean` to clear the generated Xcode project.
