Storybook 8.1 Brings Easier Story And Test Creation
Storybook is a popular tool for design system and component library builders. What I like about it is that it works with Angular nicely. You build a component, and can share examples of usage and documentation with so called stories. Such stories are available in a web user interface, where designer can validate the implementation, and users learn how to use components.
Overall it’s a must have tool for design developers.
Yesterday, a new version of Storybook was announced. To be precise it’s a subversion (8.1). But even though it’s a subversion, it comes with some major features I was waiting for.
Create Stories From Storybook UI
There’s a limited amount of information about that feature. I don’t know if it works with Angular. The announcement contains information it works with React and that a full announcement of this particular features will be public soon. But for me it’s already interesting. Because I won’t have to open the source code to create a story. Will see how it works out practically. usually stories contain more things that can be figured out by the Storybook. But maybe it will be easy to handle.
