@storybook/react-webpack5

What is @storybook/react-webpack5?

The @storybook/react-webpack5 npm package is an addon for Storybook, a tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, which allows it to work with Webpack 5. It provides a streamlined development environment for building and testing UI components without needing to embed them in an application. It also includes features for visual testing, documentation, and showcasing components interactively.

What are @storybook/react-webpack5's main functionalities?

Developing UI components in isolation

Allows developers to create stories for their components, which are visual representations of different states of UI components.

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

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

Custom Webpack configuration

Enables developers to customize the Webpack configuration used by Storybook to match the needs of their project.

module.exports = {
  stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)'],
  addons: ['@storybook/addon-links', '@storybook/addon-essentials'],
  webpackFinal: async (config, { configType }) => {
    // Custom Webpack configuration goes here
    return config;
  }
};

Interactive controls to manipulate component states

Provides a set of tools to create interactive controls for manipulating the props of the components, allowing for dynamic testing of different states.

import { ComponentStory, ComponentMeta } from '@storybook/react';
import MyButton from './MyButton';

export default {
  title: 'Button',
  component: MyButton,
  argTypes: { backgroundColor: { control: 'color' } },
} as ComponentMeta<typeof MyButton>;

const Template: ComponentStory<typeof MyButton> = (args) => <MyButton {...args} />;

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