Integrate Next.js with Storybook

# Add Storybook:
npx storybook@latest init

Set up your project

In a project without Storybook

Follow the prompts after running this command in your Next.js project's root directory:

npx storybook@latest init

In a project with Storybook

This framework is designed to work with Storybook 7. If you’re not already using v7, upgrade with this command:

npx storybook@latest upgrade

Automatic migration

When running the upgrade command above, you should get a prompt asking you to migrate to @storybook/nextjs, which should handle everything for you. In case that auto-migration does not work for your project, refer to the manual migration below.

Manual migration

Install the framework:

yarn add -D @storybook/nextjs

Update your main.js to change the framework property:

// .storybook/main.js
 
export default {
  // ...
  framework: {
    // name: '@storybook/react-webpack5', // Remove this
    name: '@storybook/nextjs', // Add this
    options: {},
  },
};

If you were using Storybook plugins to integrate with Next.js, those are no longer necessary when using this framework and can be removed:

// .storybook/main.js
 
export default {
  // ...
  addons: [
    // ...
    // These can both be removed
    // 'storybook-addon-next',
    // 'storybook-addon-next-router',
  ],
};

(Experimental) SWC support

If you're working with a Next.js project that already uses SWC (e.g., version 14 or higher), you can enable it in Storybook by adding the following to your main.js:

// .storybook/main.js
 
export default {
  // ...
  framework: {
    name: '@storybook/nextjs',
    options: {
      builder: {
        useSWC: true, // Enables SWC support
      },
    },
  },
};
