What is @storybook/types?

The @storybook/types package provides TypeScript definitions and utility types for Storybook, a popular tool for developing UI components in isolation. It facilitates type checking and development within the Storybook ecosystem, ensuring that components and their stories adhere to expected types.

What are @storybook/types's main functionalities?

Storybook Component Types

Defines types for Storybook stories, ensuring that the stories and their configurations adhere to the correct structure and types.

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

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

export const Primary: Story = (args) => <Button {...args} />;
Primary.args = {
  primary: true,
  label: 'Click Me'
};

Addon Development

Provides types for developing Storybook addons, helping developers to integrate additional functionality into Storybook with type safety.

import { Addon } from '@storybook/types';

const myAddon: Addon = {
  title: 'My Custom Addon',
  type: 'panel',
  render: ({ active, key }) => (active ? <div id={key}>Addon Content</div> : null)
};
