Advanced Patterns and Techniques

Story composition

Compose stories from smaller building blocks using template functions. This reduces duplication and keeps stories maintainable.

Template-based stories

Create reusable story templates.

const Template = (args) => <Button {...args} />;

export default {
  component: Button,
  title: 'Components/Button',
};

export const Primary = Template.bind({});
Primary.args = { variant: 'primary', children: 'Primary' };

export const Secondary = Template.bind({});
Secondary.args = { variant: 'secondary', children: 'Secondary' };

Custom parameters and hooks

Extend Storybook with custom parameters and hooks for specialized testing and documentation needs.

Build-time optimization

Optimize Storybook build times by configuring webpack, using dynamic imports, and lazy-loading heavy addons.
