Introduction to Storybook

What is Storybook?

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, Angular, and other frameworks. It allows developers to visualize different states of each component, which helps in component-driven development.

Installation

To install Storybook, navigate to your project directory and run:

npx sb init

This command sets up Storybook in your project, adding a few example stories to help you get started.

Creating Stories

Stories are the core of Storybook. They represent different states of your components. Here's how to create a simple story for a button component:

import React from 'react';
import MyButton from './MyButton';

export default {
    title: 'Example/MyButton',
    component: MyButton,
};

const Template = (args) => ;

export const Primary = Template.bind({});
Primary.args = {
    primary: true,
    label: 'Primary Button',
};
            

Best Practices

• Write stories for all UI states of a component.
• Use descriptive titles for your stories to improve readability.
• Keep your stories organized in a systematic structure.
