Story layout

The layout parameter allows you to configure how stories are positioned in Storybook's Canvas tab.

Global layout

You can add the parameter to your ./storybook/preview.js, like so:

.storybook/preview.js

export const parameters = {
  layout: 'centered',
};

Layout params centered story

In the example above, Storybook will center all stories in the UI. layout accepts these options:

centered: center the component horizontally and vertically in the Canvas
fullscreen: allow the component to expand to the full width and height of the Canvas
padded: (default) Add extra padding around the component

Component layout

You can also set it at a component level like so:

Button.stories.js|jsx|ts|tsx

import { Button } from './Button';
 
export default {
  /* 👇 The title prop is optional.
  * See https://storybook.js.org/docs/6/configure#configure-story-loading
  * to learn how to generate automatic titles
  */
  title: 'Button',
  component: Button,
  // Sets the layout parameter component wide.
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
};

Story layout

Or even apply it to specific stories like so:

Button.stories.js|jsx|ts|tsx

import { Button } from './Button':
 
export default {
  /* 👇 The title prop is optional.
  * See https://storybook.js.org/docs/6/configure#configure-story-loading
  * to learn how to generate automatic titles
  */
  title: 'Button',
  component: Button,
}
 
const Template = () => ({
 // Your template goes here
});
 
export const WithLayout= Template.bind({});
WithLayout.parameters = {
  layout: 'centered',
};
