Storybook README addon
Example Storybook with README addon
It is very similar with Storybook Notes addon but using Storybook Notes there is <WithNotes notes={...}>
wrapper at each story function and thats why Storybook Info always shows that wrapper at info screen.
This addon is compatible with:
- Storybook for React
Additional features:
- Does not affect on story function. So Storybook Info works correctly now.
- 100% markdown support
- Code highlighting
- Accept multiple README (useful for hoc component - add component's and original component's README)
- Looks like Github's README
Also it very useful because most projects and components already have README.md files. Now it is easy to add them into your Storybook.
Stories will be added with .addWithInfo method if Storybook Info Addon is installed.
Install
npm install --save-dev storybook-readme
or
yarn add --dev storybook-readme
Webpack Configuration
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.md$/,
use: "raw-loader"
}]
}
};
npm install --save-dev raw-loader
Usage
Register addon at .storybook/addons.js
import 'storybook-readme/register';
Then create your stories with the withReadme or withDocs API (use as story HOC or as Storybook Decorator).
- withDocs - Add README around the story component at the main panel. Example withDocs
- withReadme - Add README to the storybook panels. Example withReadme
It is possible to combine withDocs and withReadme - Example combined APIs
import ButtonReadme from '../components/button/README.md';
import { withReadme, withDocs } from 'storybook-readme';
// or import separetaly
// import withReadme from 'storybook-readme/with-readme';
// import withDocs from 'storybook-readme/with-docs';
storiesOf('Button', module)
.add('Default', withReadme(ButtonReadme, () => <Button onClick={action('clicked')} label="Hello Button"/>))
storiesOf('Content', module)
.add('Default', withDocs(ButtonReadme, () => <Content>Hello Button<Content/>))
// with custom preview element
const withCustomPreview = withDocs({
PreviewComponent: styled.div`
text-align: center;
padding: 25px;
box-shadow: 0 0 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
`,
FooterComponent: styled.div`
padding: 25px;
background: rgba(246, 255, 0, 0.23);
border-top: '2px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
`,
});
storiesOf('Content', module)
.add('Default', withCustomPreview(ButtonReadme, () => <Content>Hello Button<Content/>))
Use as Higher Order Component
- withReadme(readme, story)
- withDocs(readme, story) or withDocs({ PreviewComponent, FooterComponent })(readme, story)
Accepts README or array of README in markdown format. Multiple REAMDE is useful when you develop higher order component and want to add its README and original component README.
withReadme example:
import { withReadme } from 'storybook-readme';
import OriginalButtonREADME from 'node_modules/components/button/README.md';
import ButtonREADME from '../components/components/button/README.md';
storiesOf('Button', module)
// add multiple READMEs (also supports only one)
.add('Default', withReadme([OriginalButtonREADME, ButtonREADME], () => {
return <Button onClick={action('clicked')} label="Hello Button"/>;
}));
withDocs example:
import { withDocs } from 'storybook-readme';
import ButtonREADME from '../components/components/button/README.md';
storiesOf('Button', module)
// add only one README (also supports multiple as array)
.add('Default', withDocs(ButtonREADME, () => {
return <Button onClick={action('clicked')} label="Hello Button"/>;
}));
Use as Decorator
- withReadme(readme)
- withDocs(readme) or withDocs({ PreviewComponent, FooterComponent })(readme)
Pass only first argument - README or array of README in markdown format.
In this way code of stories is more clean.
withReadme example:
import { withReadme } from 'storybook-readme';
import OriginalButtonREADME from 'node_modules/components/button/README.md';
import ButtonREADME from '../components/components/button/README.md';
storiesOf('Button', module)
// add multiple READMEs (also supports only one)
.addDecorator(withReadme([OriginalButtonREADME, ButtonREADME]))
.add('Default', () => {
return <Button onClick={action('clicked')} label="Hello Button"/>;
});
withDocs example:
import { withDocs } from 'storybook-readme';
import ButtonREADME from 'node_modules/component/README.md';
storiesOf('Button', module)
// add only one README (also supports multiple as array)
.addDecorator(withDocs(ButtonREADME))
.add('Default', () => {
return <Button onClick={action('clicked')} label="Hello Button"/>;
});
withDocs
- Common Footer
Will appear at all stories that uses withDocs
api.
Note: Should be added before all stories initialization.
import { withDocs } from 'storybook-readme';
import DocsFooterReadme from 'components/DOCS_FOOTER.md';
withDocs.addFooter(DocsFooterReadme);
withDocs
API)
README splitter (only for You can use <!-- STORY -->
at the README to control component story position.
Instead of this placeholder story will be rendered. For example:
Docs before story
<!-- STORY -->
Docs after story
Have a look on this REAMDE and live story exmaple.
Take a look at more examples at example-react/stories/index.js to learn more about the withReadme
and withDocs
API.
