Using Storybook as a Component Library

Storybook is a popular tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular. It allows you to visualize different states of your components, making it easier to develop and test them.

To get started with Storybook, you can follow these steps:

npx sb init

Stories are the basic building blocks of Storybook. Each story represents a single state of a component. Here’s how to create a story:

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: 'Button',
};

Once you have your stories set up, you can start Storybook by running:

npm run storybook

Your Storybook application will be available at http://localhost:6006.

Follow these best practices to ensure your component library is effective:

• Write clear and concise stories for each state of your component.
• Group related stories into a single file to ease navigation.
• Use Addons to enhance the functionality of your Storybook.
