Storybook addon to show components README (for React and Vue). Fork from storybook-readme

Downloads per week

Storybook README addon

NOTE: This README only for version ^5.0.0. For older versions LEGACY_README.md

All previous api should work correctly at ^5.0.0 and above. But vue users will need to change their import path, as vue commands have been moved to their own folder.

This addon is compatible with:

Storybook for React (React example storybook)
Storybook for Vue (Vue example storybook)

Live demo

Features:

Automatically generate props table (Only for React)
Does not affect on story function. So Storybook Info works correctly now.
100% markdown support
Code highlighting
Accept multiple README (useful for hoc component - add component's and original component's README)
Looks like Github's README
Supports <docs/> tags for vue components (example-vue/components/MyButton/MyButton.vue).

Also it very useful because most projects and components already have README.md files. Now it is easy to add them into your Storybook.

Stories will be added with .addWithInfo method if Storybook Info Addon is installed.

Install

npm install --save-dev storybook-readme

yarn add --dev storybook-readme

Webpack Configuration for React Storybook

Nothing to do :)

Webpack Configuration for Vue Storybook

Only if using Single File Components and want to use <docs> tag at storybook documentation.

module.exports = storybookBaseConfig => {
  storybookBaseConfig.module.rules.push({
    resourceQuery: /blockType=docs/,
    use: ['storybook-readme/vue/docs-loader', 'html-loader', 'markdown-loader'],
  });
};

Define <docs> tag inside vue module:

<docs>
Docs inside vue module 
</docs>

<template>
  <button class="button">
    <slot></slot>
  </button>
</template>

Use it to define docs at story:

import MyButton from '../components/MyButton/MyButton.vue';

storiesOf('Vue <docs>', module).addParameters({
  readme: {
    content: MyButton.__docs,
  },
});

Setup

import 'storybook-readme/register';

Add decorator at .storybook/config.js

import { addReadme } from 'storybook-readme';
addDecorator(addReadme);

Important 5.0 change: the core commands of this addon are now imported from different locations depending on the framework you're using. React, for example, will import its commands from the main folder, seen above, just as it was in v4.0. Vue, on the other hand, now has a vue specific import location. See below:

import { addReadme } from 'storybook-readme/vue'; // <---- Vue subpackage
addDecorator(addReadme);

Usage

Hope it is very simple.

import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';

import Button from '../components/Button';
import ButtonReadme from '../components/Button/README.md';

storiesOf('Buttons', module)
  .addDecorator(withKnobs)
  .addParameters({
    readme: {
      // Show readme before story
      content: ButtonReadme,
      // Show readme at the addons panel
      sidebar: ButtonReadme,
    },
  })
  .add('Button', () => <Button />);

It is possible to override docs for story

import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';

import Button from '../components/Button';
import ButtonReadme from '../components/Button/README.md';

storiesOf('Buttons', module)
  .addDecorator(withKnobs)
  .addParameters({
    readme: {
      content: ButtonReadme,
      sidebar: ButtonReadme,
    },
  })
  .add('Button', () => <Button />)
  .add('Button', () => <Button />)
  .add('Button', () => <Button />, {
    readme: {
      // override docs
      content: CustomButtonReadme,
      sidebar: CustomButtonReadme,
    },
  });
