@storybook/addon-styling

⚠️ This addon is officially deprecated ⚠️

Since it's release, addon-styling has been a great way to get your styles configured in Storybook. However, as the addon quickly evolved, it became clear that it was trying to do too much. It was trying to be a configuration tool, a theming tool, and a housed bulky code mods as well. This made it difficult to maintain and added a lot of dependencies that most users didn't need.

To address this, I've split the addon into two separate addons, @storybook/addon-styling-webpack and @storybook/addon-themes. These addons are much more focused and will allow us to iterate on them more quickly.

@storybook/addon-styling-webpack will be specifically for configuring your Webpack based Storybooks with popular tools like Tailwind, Post CSS, SCSS, Less, and Vanilla-extract.

@storybook/addon-themes will be focused on providing and switching between multiple themes in Storybook regardless of what building tool that you use.

I've also moved the codemods to a separate package so that they can be used through npx/ yarn dlx / pnpm dlx without having a bulky codemod staying in your node_modules.

I'll have a migration guide up soon, but in the meantime, please check out the new addons and let me know what you think!

All the best, Shaun Evening

❗️ Overriding theme

If you want to override your theme for a particular component or story, you can use the theming.themeOverride parameter.

import React from "react";
import { Button } from "./Button";

export default {
  title: "Example/Button",
  component: Button,
  parameters: {
    theming: {
      themeOverride: "light", // component level override
    },
  },
};

const Template = (args) => <Button {...args} />;

export const Primary = Template.bind({});
Primary.args = {
  primary: true,
  label: "Button",
};

export const PrimaryDark = Template.bind({});
PrimaryDark.args = {
  primary: true,
  label: "Button",
};
PrimaryDark.parameters = {
  theming: {
    themeOverride: "dark", // Story level override
  },
};
