Discord: Query regarding usage of '$' symbol

[Gluant101]

Walter:

Why do some Gluestack Tokens require the '$' symbol before the token name to work, and why some do not require it and will even throw an error if trying to use the '$' symbol?

for example, when using the Heading component, the color token must use the '$' , but the size must not use the '$'.

This works:
<Heading color="$orange600" >My Heading</Heading>
This does not works:

<Heading size="$2xl">My Heading</Heading>
 , needs to be 
<Heading size="2xl">My Heading</Heading>
 without the $ symbol

This really confuses me

Jono:
This also the same with useToken. The value has to be $'less to work. Even with color values

Hey @Gluant101, Token values are the only ones prefixed with $. However, for variants like size, which fall under component props, you can directly pass the value without using the $ prefix.
