What is @storybook/blocks?

@storybook/blocks is a package designed to enhance the Storybook experience by providing a set of reusable blocks for building and organizing stories. It allows developers to create more structured and maintainable storybooks with ease.

What are @storybook/blocks's main functionalities?

Creating Stories

This feature allows you to create and organize stories for your components. The code sample demonstrates how to define a story for a Button component using the Story and Meta blocks.

import { Story, Meta } from '@storybook/blocks';

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

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

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

Adding Controls

This feature allows you to add controls to your stories, enabling dynamic interaction with component properties. The code sample shows how to add a color control for the backgroundColor property of a Button component.

import { Story, Meta } from '@storybook/blocks';

export default {
  title: 'Example/Button',
  component: Button,
  argTypes: {
    backgroundColor: { control: 'color' },
  },
} as Meta;

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

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

Documentation

This feature allows you to add documentation to your stories, making it easier for other developers to understand and use your components. The code sample demonstrates how to configure documentation for a Button component using DocsPage and DocsContainer.

import { Meta, Story, DocsPage, DocsContainer } from '@storybook/blocks';

export default {
  title: 'Example/Button',
  component: Button,
  parameters: {
    docs: {
      container: DocsContainer,
      page: DocsPage,
    },
  },
} as Meta;

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

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