Storybook Integration Case Studies

Storybook.js is a powerful tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular applications. This lesson explores various integration case studies to illustrate the practical applications of Storybook in real-world projects.

Overview

This case study demonstrates how to integrate Storybook into a React application, enhancing component development and documentation.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Install Storybook in your React project:

npx sb init

2. Create stories for your components:

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

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

const Template = (args) => ;

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

3. Run Storybook:

npm run storybook

4. Access Storybook at localhost:6006

Overview

This case study illustrates the integration of Storybook with Vue.js, focusing on component isolation and testing.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Install Storybook in your Vue project:

npx sb init --type vue

2. Create stories for your Vue components:

// MyComponent.stories.js
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue';

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

const Template = (args) => ({
  components: { MyComponent },
  setup() {
    return { args };
  },
  template: '',
});

export const Default = Template.bind({});
Default.args = {
  title: 'Hello Storybook',
};

3. Run Storybook:

npm run storybook

4. View your component stories on localhost:6006

• Keep stories simple and focused on one component.
• Use controls to allow dynamic testing of component properties.
• Document your components clearly within stories.
• Leverage addons for enhanced functionality (e.g., accessibility checks).
