+### Filtering out references
 
 When combining [`filters`](/reference/hooks/filters) with `outputReferences`, it could happen that a token is referencing another token that is getting filtered out.
 When that happens, Style Dictionary will throw a warning. However, it is possible to configure `outputReferences` to use [our `outputReferencesFilter` utility function](/reference/utils/references/#outputreferencesfilter), which will prevent tokens that reference other tokens that are filtered out from outputting references, they will output the resolved values instead.

+
+Version 4 of Style-Dictionary comes with a good amount of breaking changes compared to version 3.
+
+In this document, we will outline those breaking changes, ordered from most impactful to least.
+Before and after examples are added to enable you to adjust your code to account for the changes.
+
+## ES Modules instead of CommonJS
+
+There are different ways to write JavaScript, NodeJS came up with CommonJS format and later browsers brought ES Modules format which NodeJS also supports.
+ES Modules is nowadays considered the modern way to write JavaScript, NodeJS/Browser interoperability being only 1 of many reasons for that.
+
+Therefore, in version 4, Style Dictionary has been entirely rewritten in ES Modules, in a way that is browser-compatible out of the box, allowing you to run it in many more places compared to before.
+
+What this means for you is that if you are using Style Dictionary in a CommonJS project, you will have to either:
+
+- convert your project to ESM by putting `"type": "module"` in your `package.json` and migrating your JS files to be ESM format. Note that you usually can still [import CommonJS dependencies](https://nodejs.org/api/module.html#modulecreaterequirefilename) from ESM files, although this is not possible in browser environments.
+- use `.mjs` extension for your Style Dictionary consuming code, but keep the rest of your project as CommonJS.
+- dynamically import Style Dictionary into your CommonJS files `const StyleDictionary = (await import('style-dictionary')).default;`
+- use a bundler tool that allows ESM / CommonJS interoperability, meaning you can combine both syntaxes. If I'm not mistaken, [bun](https://bun.sh/) (NodeJS alternative) supports that by default
+
+The above options are ordered, the top being the option we recommend the most, but this ordering is highly subjective.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={1} ins={2}
+const StyleDictionary = require('style-dictionary');
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+```
+
+## Instantiating Style Dictionary
+
+Style Dictionary has become a class now in version 4 rather than just a regular JS object.
+This means that you can create instances using the `new` class instantiator keyword.
+
+Due to ES Modules being asynchronous by nature, you will need to `await` initialization before you can access properties such as the `tokens` on the instance.
+
+`.extend()` method is still available on Style Dictionary instances if you want to create an instance (extend) from another instance.\
+[See the extend docs](/reference/api#extend).
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={1,4} ins={2,5-6}
+const StyleDictionary = require('style-dictionary');
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+
+const sd = StyleDictionary.extend('config.json');
+const sd = new StyleDictionary('config.json');
+await sd.hasInitialized;
+
+console.log(sd.tokens);
+```
+
+## Asynchronous API
+
+There are a couple of reasons for making most of Style Dictionary's methods asynchronous but the 2 most important reasons are:
+
+- ES Modules are asynchronous by nature, so many of the internal processes such as importing a config or token file are now async, causing other methods to become async as well by extension.
+- Hooks now support asynchronous methods, to make them easier to work with. Example: you may want to run Prettier on your output files in your custom format, Prettier recently became async which means your format function would need to be async as well.
+
+The following StyleDictionary class methods are now async:
+
+- `extend()`
+- `exportPlatform()`
+- `getPlatform()`
+- `buildAllPlatforms()`
+- `buildPlatform()`
+- `cleanAllPlatforms()`
+- `cleanPlatform()`
+- `extend()`
+
+All hooks now support async functions as well, this should not be a breaking change for users since sync is also still supported.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={7-8} ins={4,9-10}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+
+const sd = new StyleDictionary({ source: ['tokens.json'], platforms: {} });
+await sd.hasInitialized;
+console.log(sd.allTokens);
+
+sd.cleanAllPlatforms();
+sd.buildAllPlatforms();
+await sd.cleanAllPlatforms();
+await sd.buildAllPlatforms();
+```
+
+One exception is our `fileHeader` format helper utility, this is now an async function to support async fileHeaders.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={9,13} ins={10,14-15}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+
+// yes, this is another breaking change, more on that later
+import { fileHeader } from 'style-dictionary/utils';
+
+StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
+  name: 'custom/css',
+  // this can be async now, usually it is if you use fileHeader format helper, since that now always returns a Promise
+  formatter: function ({ dictionary, file, options }) {
+  formatter: async function ({ dictionary, file, options }) {
+    const { outputReferences } = options;
+    return (
+      fileHeader({ file }) +
+      // this helper is now async! because the user-passed file.fileHeader might be an async function
+      (await fileHeader({ file })) +
+      ':root {\n' +
+      formattedVariables({ format: 'css', dictionary, outputReferences }) +
+      '\n}\n'
+    );
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## CTI reliance
+
+[CTI or Category / Type / Item](/info/tokens/#category--type--item) used to be the default way of structuring design tokens in Style Dictionary.
+Often, what type of token a token is, would be determined by looking at the "category" part of the token taxonomy.
+Most of the [Built-in transforms](/reference/hooks/transforms/predefined) `matcher` function would rely on the token's `attributes.category` property.
+This in turn would rely on applying the [`attribute/cti` transform](/reference/hooks/transforms/predefined#attributecti) so that this attribute was set on a token.
+
+In version 4, we have removed almost all hard-coupling/reliances on CTI structure and instead we will look for a `token.type` property to determine what type of token a design token is.
+This aligns more with the [Design Token Community Group draft specification](https://design-tokens.github.io/community-group/format/) for standardizing design tokens JSON format.
+
+```json title="tokens.json" ins={3-4,7} ""type": "color""
+{
+  "color": {
+    // <-- this no longer needs to be "color" in order for
+    // the tokens inside this group to be considered of type "color"
+    "red": {
+      "value": "#FF0000",
+      "type": "color"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Additionally, the following transforms have changed:
+
+- Built-in name transforms are now reliant only on the token path, and are renamed from `name/cti/casing` to just `name/casing`. `name/ti/camel` and `name/ti/constant` have been removed. For example `name/cti/kebab` transform is now `name/kebab`.
+- Transform `content/icon` has been renamed to `html/icon` since it targets HTML entity strings, not just any icon content.
+- `font/objC/literal`, `font/swift/literal` and `font/flutter/literal` have been removed in favor of `content/objC/literal`, `content/swift/literal` and `content/flutter/literal`, as they do he exact same transformations.
+
+```json title="config.json" del={6,8,10,12,14,16-18} ins={7,9,11,13,15}
+{
+  "source": ["tokens.json"],
+  "platforms": {
+    "css": {
+      "transforms": [
+        "name/cti/camel",
+        "name/camel",
+        "name/cti/kebab",
+        "name/kebab",
+        "name/cti/snake",
+        "name/snake",
+        "name/cti/human",
+        "name/human",
+        "name/cti/human",
+        "name/human",
+        "font/objC/literal",
+        "font/swift/literal",
+        "font/flutter/literal"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Package Entrypoints
+
+We've adopted [package entrypoints](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#package-entry-points), which is also referred to as export maps.
+
+What this means is, our `package.json` contains the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "exports": {
+    ".": "./lib/StyleDictionary.js",
+    "./fs": {
+      "node": "./lib/fs-node.js",
+      "default": "./lib/fs.js"
+    },
+    "./utils": "./lib/utils/index.js",
+    "./types": "./types/index.d.ts"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This allows Style Dictionary consumers to only import from those 4 entrypoints specified:
+
+```ts
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+import { usesReferences } from 'style-dictionary/utils';
+import { fs, setFs } from 'style-dictionary/fs';
+import type { DesignToken } from 'style-dictionary/types';
+```
+
+Any other imports e.g. directly from a file path is disallowed and most modern package entrypoints supporting tools will not let you import from them.
+This sets a clear and explicit boundary between what is considered public API versus private API, and prevents accidentally running into breaking changes in the future.
+
+Due to not allowing to import from file paths directly anymore, this is considered a breaking change.
+
+:::note
+In order for your imports to work at all with package entrypoints, the tool you use for resolving bare import specifiers must have package entrypoints.\
+If you use `TypeScript` for example, you will need [`moduleResolution`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#moduleResolution) set to either `'nodenext'`, `'node16'` or `'bundler'`.\
+For `Rollup`, you will need [`@rollup/plugin-node-resolve`](https://github.com/rollup/plugins/tree/master/packages/node-resolve/#readme).\
+For `Webpack`, you will need version 5 at minimum.\
+For `Vite`, version 3.
+:::
+
+## Format Helpers
+
+We moved the format helpers away from the StyleDictionary module/class into the utils entrypoint, for consistency in our API.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={1,3-4} ins={2}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+import { fileHeader, formattedVariables } from 'style-dictionary/utils';
+
+const { fileHeader, formattedVariables } = StyleDictionary.formatHelpers;
+```
+
+## Types
+
+Style Dictionary is entirely strictly typed now, and there will be `.d.ts` files published next to every file, this means that if you import from one of Style Dictionary's entrypoints, you automatically get the types implicitly with it. This is a big win for people using TypeScript, as the majority of the codebase now has much better types, with much fewer `any`s.
+
+If you need to import some specific type interfaces separately, you can do so from the `style-dictionary/types` entrypoint.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={1,3-5} ins={2}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+import type { DesignToken, Transform } from 'style-dictionary/types';
+
+declare type DesignToken = StyleDictionary.DesignToken;
+declare type Transform = StyleDictionary.Transform;
+```
+
+[`typescript/module-declarations` format](/reference/hooks/formats/predefined#typescriptmodule-declarations) is updated with current DesignToken type interface, and type interface changes are technically always breaking, which is why it's mentioned here.
+
+## Reference utils
+
+Our reference utilities are now available from `style-dictionary/utils` entrypoint rather than attached to your StyleDictionary instance.
+We've also updated the function signatures of the reference utilities to address this change and make them easier to reuse as well as more consistent in their APIs.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={9,11} ins={2,10,12}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+import { usesReferences, getReferences } from 'style-dictionary/utils';
+
+StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
+  name: `myCustomFormat`,
+  formatter: function({ dictionary }) {
+    return dictionary.allTokens.map(token => {
+      let value = JSON.stringify(token.value);
+      if (dictionary.usesReference(token.original.value)) {
+      if (usesReferences(token.original.value, dictionary.tokens)) {
+        const refs = dictionary.getReferences(token.original.value);
+        const refs = getReferences(token.original.value, dictionary.tokens);
+        refs.forEach(ref => {
+          value = value.replace(ref.value, function() {
+            return `${ref.name}`;
+          });
+        });
+      }
+      return `export const ${token.name} = ${value};`
+    }).join(`\n`)
+  }
+});
+```
+
+In addition, we've added a [resolveReferences](/reference/utils/references#resolvereferences) utility to make it easy to get the resolved value of a token.
+
+## OutputReferences function
+
+We now allow specifying a `function` for `outputReferences`, conditionally outputting a ref or not per token.
+We also published an [`outputReferencesFilter` utility function](/reference/utils/references#outputreferencesfilter) which will determine whether a token should be outputting refs based on whether those referenced tokens were filtered out or not.
+
+If you are maintaining a custom format that allows `outputReferences` option, you'll need to take into account that it can be a function, and pass the correct options to it.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={12} ins={13-17}
+StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
+  name: 'custom/es6',
+  formatter: async (dictionary) => {
+    const { allTokens, options, file } = dictionary;
+    const { usesDtcg } = options;
+
+    const compileTokenValue = (token) => {
+      let value = usesDtcg ? token.$value : token.value;
+      const originalValue = usesDtcg ? token.original.$value : token.original.value;
+
+      // Look here 👇
+      const shouldOutputRefs = outputReferences && usesReferences(originalValue);
+      const shouldOutputRefs =
+        usesReferences(original) &&
+        (typeof options.outputReferences === 'function'
+          ? outputReferences(token, { dictionary, usesDtcg })
+          : options.outputReferences);
+
+      if (shouldOutputRefs) {
+        // ... your code for putting back the reference in the output
+        value = ...
+      }
+      return value;
+    }
+    return `${allTokens.reduce((acc, token) => `${acc}export const ${token.name} = ${compileTokenValue(token)};\n`, '')}`;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Logging
+
+Logging has been redesigned a fair bit and is more configurable now, [see Logging docs](/reference/logging).
+Instead of only being able to specify `log: "error"` to change the default behavior of the logging to throw warnings as errors,
+you can now also customize the verbosity of the logs and silence warnings and success logs.
+
+```json title="config.json" del={3} ins={4-7}
+{
+  "source": ["tokens.json"],
+  "log": "error",
+  "log": {
+    "warnings": "error", // "error", "warn", "disabled" -> "warn" is default
+    "verbosity": "verbose" // "silent", "default", "verbose" -> "default" is default
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Removed Deprecated features
+
+- `templates` and `registerTemplate`, use `formats` and `registerFormat` instead
+- `properties` / `allProperties` props on the StyleDictionary instance
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={5} ins={6}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+
+const sd = new StyleDictionary({ source: ['tokens.json'], platforms: {} });
+await sd.hasInitialized;
+console.log(sd.allProperties, sd.properties);
+console.log(sd.allTokens, sd.tokens);
+```
+
+- `format.formatter` old function signature of `(dictionary, platform, file)` in favor of `({ dictionary, platform, options, file })`.
+
+```js title="build-tokens.js" del={8,10} ins={9,11}
+import StyleDictionary from 'style-dictionary';
+
+// yes, this is another breaking change, more on that later
+import { fileHeader } from 'style-dictionary/utils';
+
+StyleDictionary.registerFormat({
+  name: 'custom/css',
+  formatter: async function (dictionary, platform, file) {
+  formatter: async function ({ dictionary, file, options }) {
+    const { outputReferences } = file.options;
+    const { outputReferences } = options;
+    return (
+      fileHeader({ file }) +
+      // this helper is now async! because the user-passed file.fileHeader might be an async function
+      (await fileHeader({ file })) +
+      ':root {\n' +
+      formattedVariables({ format: 'css', dictionary, outputReferences }) +
+      '\n}\n'
+    );
+  },
+});
