Storybook Vue Addon

A Storybook addon that allows to write stories in native Vue syntax and compiles it to Storybook's CSF format.

Example: Button.stories.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import Button from './Button.vue'
</script>
<template>
  <Stories
    title="Stories in Vue format 😍"
    :component="Button"
  >
    <Story title="Primary">
      <Button
        background="#ff0"
        label="Button"
      />
    </Story>
    <Story title="Secondary">
      <Button
        background="#ff0"
        label="😄👍😍💯"
      />
    </Story>
    <Story title="Tertiary">
      <Button
        background="#ff0"
        label="📚📕📈🤓"
      />
    </Story>
  </Stories>
</template>

Features

This package is currently in an early alpha stage and supports only the fundamental Storybook features. Compatibility with more advanced features and addons is work in progress. Please open an issue if you encounter any bugs or missing integrations.

Installation

Note: Currently, only the vite storybook builder is supported and @storybook/builder-vite version 0.2.7 or higher is required.

1. Add storybook-vue-addon to your dev-dependencies.

   # npm
   npm install --save-dev storybook-vue-addon
   
   # yarn
   yarn add -D storybook-vue-addon
   
   # pnpm
   pnpm add -D storybook-vue-addon
   

2. In .storybook/main.js, add *.stories.vue to the stories patterns and storybook-vue-addon as an addon.

     "stories": [
       "../src/**/*.stories.mdx",
   -    "../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)"
   +    "../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx|vue)"
     ],
     ...
     "addons": [
       "@storybook/addon-essentials",
   +   "storybook-vue-addon"
     ],
   

Manual usage

If for whatever reason you process Storybook stories in your build pipeline, you probably want to first transpile the Vue stories to classical CSF stories by adding storybook-vue-addon to your build.

Vite

// vite.config.ts
import VueStories from 'storybook-vue-addon/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    VueStories({
      /* options */
    }),
  ],
})

Example: playground/

Rollup

// rollup.config.js
import VueStories from 'storybook-vue-addon/rollup'

export default {
  plugins: [
    VueStories({
      /* options */
    }),
  ],
}

Webpack

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  /* ... */
  plugins: [
    require('storybook-vue-addon/webpack')({
      /* options */
    }),
  ],
}

Nuxt

// nuxt.config.js
export default {
  buildModules: [
    [
      'storybook-vue-addon/nuxt',
      {
        /* options */
      },
    ],
  ],
}

This module works for both Nuxt 2 and Nuxt Vite

Vue CLI

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [
      require('storybook-vue-addon/webpack')({
        /* options */
      }),
    ],
  },
}

esbuild

// esbuild.config.js
import { build } from 'esbuild'
import VueStories from 'storybook-vue-addon/esbuild'

build({
  plugins: [VueStories()],
})
