Serverless Storybook

Serverless Storybook is a modern approach to developing UI components with Storybook.js while leveraging serverless architecture. This lesson focuses on how to integrate Storybook.js with serverless technologies to streamline your development workflow.

• **Storybook.js**: An open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation.
• **Serverless Architecture**: A cloud-computing model that allows developers to build and run applications without managing servers.
• **Components**: Reusable blocks of code that represent UI elements.

3.1 Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine.
• Basic understanding of React.js or your preferred framework.
• A serverless provider account (e.g., AWS, Azure).

3.2 Installing Storybook

To get started, you need to install Storybook in your project. Use the following command:

npx sb init

3.3 Configuring Serverless

Next, set up your serverless configuration. Create a serverless.yml file in your project root:

service: my-service
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs14.x
functions:
  api:
    handler: handler.api

4.1 Creating a Simple Component

Here's an example of a simple button component:

import React from 'react';

const Button = ({ label, onClick }) => {
    return {label};
};

export default Button;

4.2 Writing Stories

Now, create a story for your Button component:

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

export default {
  title: 'Button',
  component: Button,
};

export const Primary = () =>  alert('Clicked!')} />;

• Ensure components are isolated and reusable.
• Use serverless functions for dynamic content and API integration.
• Mock serverless responses in your stories for better testing.
