# Function: toStyleDictionary()

> **toStyleDictionary**(`tokens`, `mode?`): `Record`<`string`, [`SdLeaf`](../interfaces/SdLeaf.md)>

Beta

Shape the resolved IR as a flat Style Dictionary token dictionary keyed by token name (with the
leading `--` stripped). Feed this to `tools/sd-config` for the native emitters.

## Parameters

### tokens

readonly [`Token`](../interfaces/Token.md)\[]

The IR.

### mode?

[`Mode`](../type-aliases/Mode.md) = `"light"`

Which colour mode to resolve (default `"light"`).

## Returns

`Record`<`string`, [`SdLeaf`](../interfaces/SdLeaf.md)>

A Style Dictionary dictionary object.

## Example

**Shape the IR for the native lineage**

```ts
import { buildTokens } from "@pantoken/core/build";
import { toStyleDictionary } from "@pantoken/core";

const dictionary = toStyleDictionary(buildTokens(), "light");
// → { "instui-color-background-base": { value: "#…", type: "color" }, … }
// keys drop the leading "--"; feed this to tools/sd-config.
```
