1. Introduction
Storybook is a popular tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular. The standardization efforts in Storybook aim to create a consistent and cohesive development experience across various projects and teams.
2. Key Concepts
2.1. Component Libraries
Component libraries are collections of reusable components that adhere to specific design guidelines.
2.2. Design Tokens
Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the product, representing colors, typography, spacing, etc.
2.3. Documentation
Thorough documentation ensures that components are used correctly and consistently across teams.
