Build Flags

NameDescription
--watch | -wRebuild whenever any token changes are detected.
--no-lintIgnore any lint errors while building.

Check

Validate all DTCG tokens for syntax errors, and run any linters you’ve enabled. Can optionally specify a [path] tokens are located at (by default, will look for the tokens defined in your config file).

npx tz check [filename]

Normalize

The DTCG format has gone through many iterations over the years. Terrazzo lenient in the inputs it allows, such as allowing legacy sRGB hex colors without throwing a parsing error. To quickly update your tokens to the latest version of the format, run the following command:

tz normalize tokens.json -o normalized.json

This will keep your tokens 100% as-authored, but will upgrade older DTCG files to the updated format and will safely fix minor issues. But just as a safety precaution, it requires saving to a new location just so you can review the changes before committing them.

NameDescription
--out | -oTokens file to output.
