Storybook for Micro-Frontends

1. Introduction

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, Angular, and other frameworks. When working with micro-frontends, Storybook helps create a cohesive design system across multiple teams, allowing for the creation, documentation, and testing of components in isolation.

2. Key Concepts

3. Setup

To get started with Storybook in a micro-frontend environment, follow these steps:

1. Install Storybook in your micro-frontend project:

npx sb init

2. Start Storybook:

npm run storybook

3. Open the Storybook interface in your browser.

4. Configuration

To configure Storybook for micro-frontends, you can customize the configuration files found in the `.storybook` directory:

module.exports = {
            stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)'],
            addons: ['@storybook/addon-links', '@storybook/addon-essentials'],
            framework: '@storybook/react'
        };

5. Code Examples

Here’s how to create a simple button component in Storybook:

import React from 'react';

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

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

        const Template = (args) => ;

        export const Primary = Template.bind({});
        Primary.args = {
            label: 'Click Me',
        };

6. Best Practices

• Use consistent naming conventions for your components.
• Document your components thoroughly using Storybook’s built-in documentation features.
