Using Storybook with React

1. Introduction

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React and other frameworks. It allows developers to create and showcase components independently from their application.

2. Installation

npx sb init

npm run storybook

3. Configuration

Storybook configuration is managed through a configuration file located in the `.storybook` directory.

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

4. Creating Stories

Stories in Storybook represent the different states of your UI components.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Create a new file named Button.stories.js in your component directory.
2. Define your stories:

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: 'Button',
};

5. Best Practices

• Organize your stories by component.
• Utilize addons for enhanced functionality.
• Regularly update stories to reflect component changes.
• Document components within the stories for better understanding.
