1. Install Storybook: To get started with Storybook, you will need to install it globally on your machine. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:javaCopy codenpm install -g @storybook/cli
2. Create a new Storybook project: Once you have installed the Storybook CLI, you can create a new project by running the following command:csharpCopy codesb init This will create a new Storybook project in your current directory.
3. Define your first UI component: To create your first UI component, create a new folder called “Button” in the “src” directory of your Storybook project. Inside this folder, create a new file called “Button.js” and add the following code:javascriptCopy codeimport React from 'react'; function Button(props) { return ( <button className={props.className}> {props.children} </button> ); } export default Button;
4. Define a story for your component: To define a story for your new Button component, create a new file called “Button.stories.js” in the “src” directory and add the following code:javascriptCopy codeimport React from 'react'; import Button from './Button'; export default { title: 'Button', component: Button, }; export const Primary = () => <Button className="btn-primary">Primary</Button>; export const Secondary = () => <Button className="btn-secondary">Secondary</Button>;
5. Run Storybook: To run your new Storybook project, use the following command in your terminal:Copy codenpm run storybook This will start the Storybook server and open it in your default web browser.
