staticDirs

Type: (string | { from: string; to: string })[]

Sets a list of directories of static files to be loaded by Storybook.

.storybook/main.ts

// Replace your-framework with the framework you are using, e.g. react-vite, nextjs, vue3-vite, etc.
import type { StorybookConfig } from '@storybook/your-framework';
 
const config: StorybookConfig = {
  framework: '@storybook/your-framework',
  stories: ['../src/**/*.mdx', '../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|mjs|ts|tsx)'],
  staticDirs: ['../public', '../static'],
};
 
export default config;

When using Vite-based frameworks, additional directories may be copied to your build directory because of Vite's own static asset handling. You can set Vite's publicDir option to false to disable this behavior.

With configuration objects

You can also use a configuration object to define the directories:

.storybook/main.ts

// Replace your-framework with the framework you are using, e.g. react-vite, nextjs, vue3-vite, etc.
import type { StorybookConfig } from '@storybook/your-framework';
 
const config: StorybookConfig = {
  framework: '@storybook/your-framework',
  stories: ['../src/**/*.mdx', '../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|mjs|ts|tsx)'],
  staticDirs: [{ from: '../my-custom-assets/images', to: '/assets' }],
};
 
export default config;
