storybook-addon-deps

A storybook addon to add a dependencies tree exporer tab.

Quick start

1. Install

npm i -D storybook-addon-deps

2. Add preset: .storybook/main.js

module.exports = {
  presets: ['storybook-addon-deps/preset', ...]
...
}  

3. Configure DocsPage .storybook/preview.js (was .storybook/config.js)

import { DocsPage } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks';

addParameters({
  docs: { page: DocsPage },
  dependencies: { withStoriesOnly: true, hideEmpty: true }
});

Advanced setup and usage

Usage

In your storybook preview.js(or config.js), define some global parameters to exchange the data collected by the storybook-dep-webpack-plugin

import { addParameters } from '@storybook/{yourframework}';

addParameters({
 dependencies: {
    //display only dependencies/dependents that have a story in storybook
    //by default this is false
    withStoriesOnly: true,

    //completely hide a dependency/dependents block if it has no elements
    //by default this is false
    hideEmpty: true,

    //custom match function to find matching component in case duplicate 
    //component names. chooses first match if not configured
    match: (matchingComponents, storyFilename) => matchingComponents?.[0][0]
  }
});

A. Add a documentation block to your DocsPage (optional)

DocsPage is the zero-config default documentation that all stories get out of the box. You can add a Dependencies block to any level to your storybook

Globally (preview.js/config.js)

import { DocsPage } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks/DocsPage';
addParameters({ docs: { page: DocsPage } });

Component-level (Button.stories.js)

import { Button } from './Button';
import { DocsPage } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks/DocsPage';
export default {
  title: 'Demo/Button',
  component: Button,
  parameters: { docs: { page: DocsPage } },
};

Story-level (Button.stories.js)

import { Button } from './Button';
import { DocsPage } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks/DocsPage';
// export default { ... }
export const basic => () => <Button>Basic</Button>
basic.story = {
  parameters: { docs: { page: DocsPage } }
}

B. Add dependencies and dependents doc blocks to mdx stories (optional)

Button.stories.mdx

import {
  Story,
  Canvas,
  ArgsTable,
  Description,
  Meta,
} from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
import { Button } from '@storybook/design-system/dist/components/Button';
import { DependenciesTable, Dependencies, Dependents } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks';

<Meta
  title="Design System|Button"
  component={Button}
/>

# Two ways to display blocks - combined into a single table, or separated into two tables

## 1. DependenciesTable - combined dependencies and dependents into one
<DependenciesTable titleDependencies='Dependencies' titleDependents='Dependents' of={Button} />

## 2. Dependencies and Dependents tables

<Dependencies of={Button} />

<Dependents of={Button} />

excludeFn

You can exclude specific modules from the dependencies tables by setting

excludeFn: (module: IDependency) => boolean;;

  <Dependencies of={Button} excludeFn={module => module.name === 'babel'} />

C. Add a dependencies explorer tab to storybookjs (optional)

Use the preset-explorer preset

module.exports = {
  presets: ['storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', ...]
...
}  

Project analysis

The charts used are Google Charts and all their properties are applicable. Detailed information on configuration options is available from Google documentation, for example Pie Chart options.

import { Meta } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
import { ChartComponentUsage, ChartStoriesPerComponent } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks';
  
<Meta title="About|Dashboard" />
<ChartStoriesPerComponent />
<ChartComponentUsage />

Stories per component

import { Heading } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
import { ChartStoriesPerComponent } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks';
<Heading>Stories per component</Heading>
<ChartStoriesPerComponent
  height='500px'
  options={{
    sliceVisibilityThreshold: 0.04,
    pieSliceText: 'value',
    s3D: true,
    pieHole: 0.7,
  }}
/>

Components by usage

Displays how many times each component is used by other components.

import { Heading } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
import { ChartStoriesPerComponent } from 'storybook-addon-deps/blocks';
<Heading>Components usage</Heading>
<ChartComponentUsage
  height='500px'
  options={{
    minColor: '#009688',
    midColor: '#f7f7f7',
    maxColor: '#ee8100',
  }}
/>

Options

a set of options can be passed down to the storybook-dep-webpack-plugin

filter - a RegExp or function to select the stories. example:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    { 
      name: 'storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', 
      options: {
        filter: (resource) => {
          return /\.(stories|story)\.[tj]sx?$/.test(resource) && resource.indexOf("Avatar") > -1;
        }
      }
    }
  ]

exclude - a RegExp for the modules to exclude. example:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    { 
      name: 'storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', 
      options: {
        //by default @storybook modules are also excluded
        exclude: /^@babel/,
      }
    }
  ]

maxLevels - How many levels deep to follow the dependencies. example:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    { 
      name: 'storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', 
      options: {
        maxLevels: 10,
      }
    }
  ]

pickProperties - An array of the props to pick from the module webpack data. example:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    { 
      name: 'storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', 
      options: {
        pickProperties: ['id', 'name', 'request'],
      }
    }
  ]

pickModuleProperties - An array of the props to pick from the module.module webpack data. example:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    { 
      name: 'storybook-addon-deps/preset-explorer', 
      options: {
        pickModuleProperties: [],
      }
    }
  ]
