Rendering Stories

This feature allows developers to write stories that represent different states of UI components. The code sample shows how to use the Storybook API to define stories for a 'Button' component with different content.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';

storiesOf('Button', module)
  .add('with text', () => <button>Hello Button</button>)
  .add('with emoji', () => <button>😀 😎 👍 💯</button>);

Managing UI State

This feature allows addons to interact with the Storybook UI and react to events such as when a story changes. The code sample demonstrates how to register an addon that listens for the STORY_CHANGED event.

import { addons } from '@storybook/addons';
import { STORY_CHANGED } from '@storybook/core-events';

addons.register('my-addon', (api) => {
  api.on(STORY_CHANGED, (storyId) => {
    console.log('Current story is', storyId);
  });
});

Integrating with Storybook Ecosystem

This feature enables the integration of various Storybook addons to enhance the development experience. The code sample shows how to add the 'withKnobs' decorator from the '@storybook/addon-knobs' package to enable dynamic properties for components.

import { addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import { withKnobs } from '@storybook/addon-knobs';

addDecorator(withKnobs);
