Setting Up Storybook in a React Project
Install Storybook, configure it for Vite or CRA, and browse the component explorer.
What Is Storybook?
Storybook is a tool for developing, documenting, and testing UI components in isolation. Each story represents a specific state of a component, viewable in the Storybook UI without running your full app.
Installation
Run the Storybook init command in your React project. It auto-detects your framework (Vite, CRA, Next.js) and creates the configuration.
# For a Vite + React project:
npx storybook@latest init
# This creates:
# .storybook/main.ts
# .storybook/preview.ts
# src/stories/ (example stories)All lessons in this course
