External Token Set
What It Does
The External Token Set node retrieves a set of design tokens from an external source like a URL or file path. It loads and exposes these tokens for use in your design system graph.
Inputs
URI
The location of the external token set (URL or file path)
Text
Yes
Outputs
Token Set
The loaded collection of design tokens
List
How to Use It
Drag the External Token Set node into your graph.
Connect or enter a URI string pointing to your token set (e.g., a JSON file URL).
The node will load the tokens from that location when the graph executes.
The output will be the complete set of tokens ready for further processing.

Tips
Make sure the URI points to a valid token set in a supported format.
Use this node to import tokens from tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or other design systems.
