Story Selector Addon

The Storybook selector addon can be used to select and share config between stories in Storybook.

Framework Support same as backgrounds addon

Installation

yarn add --dev storybook-addon-selector

or

npm i -D storybook-addon-selector

Configuration

Then create a file called main.js in your storybook config.

Add following content to it:

module.exports = {
  addons: ['storybook-addon-selector/register'],
};

Usage

Then write your stories like this:

import React from 'react';

export default {
  title: 'Button',
  parameters: {
    selector: [
      {
        name: 'unique-name1',
        icon: 'globe',
        title: 'title',
        options: [
          { value: 'value1', title: 'option1', default: true },
          { value: 'value2', title: 'option2' },
        ],
      },
      {
        name: 'unique-name2',
        icon: 'icon-name',
        title: 'title',
        options: [
          { value: 'value1', title: 'option1', default: true },
          { value: 'value2', title: 'option2' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

export const defaultView = () => <button>Click me</button>;

Then you can listen to addon channel for selected option

addons.getChannel().on('storybook/selector/unique-name/rendered', data => {
  console.log(data); // { value: 'value1', title: 'option1', default: true }
  forceReRender();
});
addons.getChannel().on('storybook/selector/unique-name/update', data => {
  console.log(data); // { value: 'value2', title: 'option2' }
});
addons.getChannel().on('storybook/selector/unique-name/destroying', () => {
  // do some codes
});

You can add the selectors to all stories with addParameters in .storybook/preview.js:

import { addParameters } from '@storybook/react'; // <- or your storybook framework

addParameters({
  selector: [
    {
      name: 'unique-name',
      icon: 'globe',
      title: 'title',
      options: [
        { value: 'value1', title: 'option1', default: true },
        { value: 'value2', title: 'option2' },
      ],
    },
  ],
});

If you want to override selectors for a single story or group of stories, pass the selector parameter:

import React from 'react';

export default {
  title: 'Button',
};

export const defaultView = () => <button>Click me</button>;
defaultView.story = {
  parameters: {
    selector: [
      {
        name: 'unique-name',
        icon: 'globe',
        title: 'title',
        options: [
          { value: 'value1', title: 'option1', default: true },
          { value: 'value2', title: 'option2' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

If you don't want to use selectors for a story, you can set the selector parameter to [] to skip the addon:

import React from 'react';

export default {
  title: 'Button',
};

export const noSelectors = () => <button>Click me</button>;
noSelectors.story = {
  parameters: {
    selector: [],
  },
};
