Storybook for React: Develop React Component in isolation with Hot Reloading.
Storybook for React is a UI development environment for your React components. With it, you can visualize different states of your UI components and develop them interactively.

Storybook runs outside of your app. So you can develop UI components in isolation without worrying about app specific dependencies and requirements.
cd my-react-app
npx storybook@latest init

Storybook also comes with a lot of addons and a great API to customize as you wish. You can also build a static version of your Storybook and deploy it anywhere you want.
Here are some featured storybooks that you can reference to see how Storybook works:
Support for Create React App is handled by @storybook/preset-create-react-app.
This preset enables support for all Create React App features, including Sass/SCSS and TypeScript.
If you're working on an app that was initialized manually (i.e., without the use of Create React App), ensure that your app has react-dom included as a dependency. Failing to do so can lead to unforeseen issues with Storybook and your project.
@storybook/react is now exporting its own types to use with Typescript.
You don't need to have @types/storybook__react installed anymore if it was your case.
But you probably also need to use types from @types/node @types/react.
Similar to @storybook/react-webpack5, but designed for building UI components in isolation for HTML instead of React. It allows for the development of HTML snippets and does not require a React environment.
This package is for Vue.js developers and offers the same Storybook functionality as @storybook/react-webpack5 but tailored for Vue components. It allows developers to create stories for Vue components and test them in isolation.
This package is a Storybook addon for Angular. It provides the same isolation and component development environment as @storybook/react-webpack5, but it is specifically designed to work with Angular components.
