Cmash Brandkit — Feature Overview

Define your brand once (colours, fonts, logos, wording) and have every template and document use it.

What Is Cmash Brandkit?

A brandkit bundles the building blocks of a brand's look and voice. Templates that use a brandkit receive these values automatically, so a change in the brandkit updates all linked templates and documents. Marketing teams maintain it through a simple form, with no template editing.

Key Features

General

• Basics — name, URL identifier (slug), description, logo, active switch.
• Group assignment — optional, to scope the brandkit to a brand or team, with a shortcut to open the group. New brandkits default to the currently selected group.
• Languages — the languages the brandkit supports (empty = inherits from the brand or all languages).
• Multiple brandkits per brand — for example light, dark, print; change history for every edit.
• "Used by" overview — see which templates and documents use a brandkit.

Brand Colours

• Named colours edited with a visual colour picker supporting CMYK, RGB, Hex and Luma.
• Template access — available as #let color-{name}.
• Convenient — reorder, and copy the variable name with one click.

Brand Assets

• Library assets under your own keys — logos, icons and images chosen with an asset browser and preview.
• Template access — #let asset-{key} = "assets/{slug}.{ext}"; templates inherit these assets.

Brand Fonts

• Font mapping — map a key to a font family, with a browser of the installed fonts.
• Template access — #let font-{name} = "Font Family".

Phrases and Translations

• Recurring text — slogans, legal lines and claims with a translation per language.
• Template access — read via t.{key}; edit once, every document follows.

Variables

• Custom named values as Typst expressions, available in every template using the brandkit, with a built-in help hint.

Packages and Snippets

• Automatic imports — choose installed Typst packages and snippets to import in every template of the brandkit.
• Import modes — module, all, or specific functions; a parser button detects a package's or snippet's exports so you can pick them.
• Reference — the always-imported CMAsh snippets are shown.

Integrations & API

Token-secured (Laravel Sanctum):

The API validates name, slug, description, colours, fonts, logo, group and active state; phrases, variables, assets and imports are edited in the admin panel.

Integrates with the Template, Document, Typst and Asset modules (linked templates/documents, package and snippet imports, asset picker).

Permissions & Dependencies

• Requires CMAsh core (enobis/cmash), CMAsh Group (enobis/cmash-group), Filament 5, Laravel Sanctum, PHP 8.3+.
• No roles of its own; standard resource permissions apply.
• Group restrictions of the user limit which groups can be selected.

Configuration

No config file, no environment variables, no settings page.

Use Cases

• Consistent brand identity — one source for colours, fonts, logos and claims across all documents.
• Multi-variant brands — light, dark and print brandkits for one brand.
• Marketing self-service — update slogans or legal lines without touching templates.
• Multi-language wording — translated phrases maintained centrally.
