Tokenpedia Defining terms for design tokens

State

A type of level to support an alternative visual treatment for when a system is under a new configuration.

row.chosen.bgColor
input.critical.borderColor

In the above examples, the second level in each token (chosen, critical) describes system state which is expected to modify the final presentation of the experience using this new token. This assumes that tokens for the elements’ default properties exist and are first applied.

Important

User interactions can, but not always, result in states.

Tip

State can be expressed using Mise en Mode.
