Allow to pass CSS variables to the JSON files

[fraincs]

That would be useful when you only support the latest browsers and want a variable.css file where you declare your colors.

Please describe current and desired behaviour.

You mean like "black": "var(--black)",? What's the current output?

Isn’t that the same as just passing through the raw Tachyons files without the pre-processing stage?

exactly

the current output is a fail in the compiliation, the expected behaviour is to generate a CSS file with the raw variables (not compiled)

In my use case I am adding colors

I found a simple workaround to add my custom variables to Tachyon. I just added some spaces in the variable declaration in the style.json file, and it works! I’m just 6 years late, but it could be useful to someone.
