@storybook/nextjs

What is @storybook/nextjs?

@storybook/nextjs is a Storybook preset for Next.js applications. It allows developers to build and test UI components in isolation within a Next.js environment. This package integrates Storybook seamlessly with Next.js, providing a powerful toolset for developing, testing, and documenting UI components.

What are @storybook/nextjs's main functionalities?

Component Isolation

Allows developers to create stories for individual components, enabling them to be rendered in isolation. This helps in testing and developing components independently of the application.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import MyComponent from '../components/MyComponent';

storiesOf('MyComponent', module)
  .add('default', () => <MyComponent />)
  .add('with props', () => <MyComponent prop1="value1" prop2="value2" />);

Next.js Routing

Supports Next.js routing in Storybook stories, allowing developers to simulate different routes and test components/pages as they would appear in the actual application.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import { RouterContext } from 'next/dist/shared/lib/router-context';
import MyPage from '../pages/mypage';

storiesOf('MyPage', module)
  .addDecorator((story) => (
    <RouterContext.Provider value={{ pathname: '/mypage', query: {} }}>
      {story()}
    </RouterContext.Provider>
  ))
  .add('default', () => <MyPage />);

Static File Serving

Enables serving static files such as images, stylesheets, and other assets within Storybook, mimicking the Next.js static file serving capabilities.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import ImageComponent from '../components/ImageComponent';

storiesOf('ImageComponent', module)
  .add('default', () => <ImageComponent src="/static/image.png" />);
