Vodafone UK – Variables Taxonomy Map | Figma Community
Variables taxonomy map created by Vodafone UK Design System team to accommodate a complex multi-brand, multi-themed design system. The map illustrates four Collections required to support such system and connections between tokens. The file includes two variants:

An Introduction to Figma Variables, Conditional Logic, and Prototyping
In this introductory video, we'll explore Figma's variables, conditional logic, and prototyping features. Download our free variable styles template: https://www.uicollective.co/course/getting-started-with-ui-collective
In this introductory guide, we explore how variables and conditional logic can streamline your design process to create intuitive prototypes.

By definition, a variable is something that can vary in value or take on multiple values. Variables in Figma store reusable values, like color values and numbers, that can be applied to all kinds of design properties and even prototypes! A variable’s values can also reference other variables, making updating design systems a breeze. In this video, we’ll cover how variables work, and how to use them to represent design tokens and account for different modes and themes.
* Update: When following along with the tutorial at 10:30, the variable called ".5" will no longer work. This is due to our alignment with the W3C spec which doesn't allow periods in names. Calling the variable "spacing/half" will work, instead.
We are doing a follow-up in the next coming months where we’ll be separating out the “figma name” from the code syntax, which may let us loosen these restrictions. Keep an eye out for additional syntax support in the future.
