Quick Start

npx storybook@latest init

Write Stories

import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react'
import { Button } from './Button'

const meta = {
  component: Button,
  tags: ['autodocs']
} satisfies Meta<typeof Button>

export default meta
type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>

export const Primary: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Click me',
    variant: 'primary'
  }
}

export const Secondary: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Secondary',
    variant: 'secondary'
  }
}

export const Large: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Large Button',
    size: 'large'
  }
}

Using Controls

export const Interactive: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Interactive Button',
    disabled: false,
    variant: 'primary'
  },
  argTypes: {
    variant: {
      control: 'select',
      options: ['primary', 'secondary', 'tertiary']
    }
  }
}

Storybook reduces integration bugs by catching issues at the component level.
