Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is the difference between a token and a component?

I can’t find a component that I want. Can I create my own?

I still can’t use components in my design. Can I just create my own CSS based on Figma files?

I have discovered a color that doesn’t meet Accessibility requirements. Can I just add a new one?

How can I be sure that I’m using Vega requirements when I’m working in Figma?

Developers

Why is Vega better than other design systems?

Am I required to use Vega for all of my projects?

Can we get Vega to be Open Source?

Can we host a CDN?

Which JavaScript frameworks does Vega support?

Why don’t we use common APIs instead of methods such as onVegaClick?

Can we get basic styles to plug in a la carte such as reusable gifs, icons, etc.?

Why do we have our own Tailwind namespace?

I would prefer to use my existing UI frameworks with an existing Vega “theme” applied to them. Why shouldn’t I use this approach?

Vega Plugin

The plugin unexpectedly stopped working. What should I do?
