Getting Started

Install with your package manager of choice:

npm install --save-dev storybook-mirage

or

yarn add --dev storybook-mirage

Register the addon:

// .storybook/main.js

module.exports = {
  stories: [],
  addons: [
    // Other Storybook addons
    "storybook-mirage", //👈 the addon registered here
  ],
};

Setup the decorator:

// .storybook/preview.js

import { withServer } from "storybook-mirage";
import { makeServer } from "../path/to/server";

// optionally pass the server creator function to the decorator
export const decorators = [withServer(makeServer)];

makeServer is a function that returns an instance of a Mirage Server, usually through calling the createServer function from Mirage.

Configure the decorator using the mirage parameter:

// Button.stories.js | Button.stories.ts

import Button from './Button';

export default {
  title: 'Button',
  component: Button,
  parameters: {
    mirage: {
      // automatically log requests to browser console https://miragejs.com/api/classes/server/#logging
      logging: true,
      // customize when a request responds https://miragejs.com/docs/main-concepts/route-handlers/#timing
      timing: 1000,
      // override route handlers for the story https://miragejs.com/docs/main-concepts/route-handlers/
      handlers: {
        get: {
          '/api/user': 404, // status code
          '/api/items': [204, {}, { items: [] }], // arguments for Response https://miragejs.com/api/classes/response/
        },
        post: {
          'api/task': { task: {} } // body for Response
        }
      },
      // data to seed Mirage ORM https://miragejs.com/docs/main-concepts/fixtures/
      fixtures: null,
      // pass in a custom Mirage server instance to override the global setting
      instance: null,
      // created seeded data from Factories defined within your makeServer function,
      // with the key names corresponding to Factory names.
      factorySeeds: {
        // create 2 addresses with the same traits.
        address: [{ traits: ['withRecipient', 'withCompleteAddress'], count: 2 }],
        // create a single cart item with no specific traits
        cart: 1,
        // create 2 users that contain override values
        user: [
          {
            traits: [
              'withSomeTrait',
              'withOtherTrait',
            ],
              // override specific attribute swith the `attrs` property 
            attrs: {
              name: 'R2D2',
              gender: 'Male',
            },
          },
          {
            traits: [
              'withSomeTrait',
              'withOtherTrait',
            ],
            attrs: {
              name: 'BB8',
              gender: 'Male',
            },
          },
        ],
    },
    }
  },
};

Development scripts

• npm run start runs babel in watch mode and starts Storybook
• npm run build build and package addon code

The addon code lives in src.

• src/Panel.js (displays server requests and handler stats)
• src/withServer.js (decorator to consume and configure MirageJS server)

Which, along with the addon itself, are registered in src/preset/manager.js.

Configure addon name in src/constants.js.

Metadata

Storybook addons are listed in the catalog and distributed via npm. The catalog is populated by querying npm's registry for Storybook-specific metadata in package.json. This project has been configured with sample data. Learn more about available options in the Addon metadata docs.

Release Management

Setup

This project is configured to use auto for release management. It generates a changelog and pushes it to both GitHub and npm. Therefore, you need to configure access to both:

• NPM_TOKEN Create a token with both Read and Publish permissions.
• GH_TOKEN Create a token with the repo scope.

Then open your package.json and edit the following fields:

• name
• author
• repository

Local

To use auto locally create a .env file at the root of your project and add your tokens to it:

GH_TOKEN=<value you just got from GitHub>
NPM_TOKEN=<value you just got from npm>

Lastly, create labels on GitHub. You’ll use these labels in the future when making changes to the package.

npx auto create-labels

If you check on GitHub, you’ll now see a set of labels that auto would like you to use. Use these to tag future pull requests.

GitHub Actions

This template comes with GitHub actions already set up to publish your addon anytime someone pushes to your repository.

Go to Settings > Secrets, click New repository secret, and add your NPM_TOKEN.

Creating a releasing

To create a release locally you can run the following command, otherwise the GitHub action will make the release for you.

npm run release

That will:

• Build and package the addon code
• Bump the version
• Push a release to GitHub and npm
• Push a changelog to GitHub
