No way! You read my mind or something. At work they told me on Thursday to look into Storybook, we will start implementing it soon. And just like that you release a video about it, unbelievable!

[@emgodas]

God works in mysterious ways buddy

[@nicoalvarezeu]

@@emgodas Amen!

[@KevinVandyTech]

I've used storybook for 2 years at 2 different companies. It's awesome

[@megapixel23]

That’s exactly what I needed to get started with the Storybook. Thanks a lot, you are doing a great job 👏

[@Markard0]

Thank you for a short video with just enough information to get started, I don't need a 6 hour course with the history of react and storybook. This is perfect, keep up the good work

[@federicomedinauy]

Excellent video! Love your content, very clear, precise and straight to the point. For readers, something not mentioned in the video is that the “args” object can also be specified in the export default object (above const Template) and it would apply to all exported stories (the ones below const Template), reducing the need to repeat the same, common args values in each story variation.

[@VacaAlpha]

by that you mean you would only repeat the arguments that you wanna change? as in, for example: specify args object inside the export default with backgroundColor: "red" and then only specify it again where you actually do need a different color?

[@federicomedinauy]

@@VacaAlpha Yeah. You only specify it again when you actually need a different default color for that one particular story.

[@thedevguild7525]

I highly recommend this video tutorial. This is easily the best video or even tutorial to start learning React Storybook with! I have followed along and code the 2 components. Through it, I have learnt so much. When I read up other tutorials and the official documentation, the concepts just fit like a puzzle.

[@none0n]

This is a perfect Storybook walkthrough... I am pretty confident to start this new role. Thank you

[@callumgrayson1010]

WDS has the highest value-per-minute of any web tech channel! This intro to not only informs me but actually motivates me to use Storybook! Outstanding work. Thanks.

[@avinashchaudhary4231]

thats the main thing i like about this channel. Thanks WDS

[@TomDoesTech]

Storybook is great! I love using it with tsdx to create component modules.

[@joannagoofit7253]

thanks for your movies. I used to watch them during my bootcamp, when i wanted to become Dev. And I still watch them as they are useful at work :)

[@Francois3k]

Brother you are the truth. I was gonna buy coding phase course on storybooks an this video hit the spot for me. Man thank u for this info u save me money 💰 🤑 💸 lol

[@isareinert8031]

Thank you 🙏 I use storybook at work. It’s really helpful to understand the project. When you need to understand what this component does, just check your storybook. I liked your video so much. I hope you can make more videos about it. See you

[@rizqyhbb]

After watching whole playlist from another youtuber, now I can say that I can keep up with Kyle's teaching speed and understand all of this storybook video haha, thanks Kyle

[@bama2619]

man, I am back to your video to try. Now I understand how to do this. Fast and to the point. Thank you.

[@monique2819]

I had to learn this for my job and you explained Storybook so well. Great tutorial!!!!!😊👍🏽

[@dominiquebello3212]

Perfect timing! Already liking storybook a lot thanks to your super condensed and helpful crash course 👋👌🤩

[@hk-nu2zt]

to the point tutorial now I am confident enough to write storybook in my cv

[@shachaha]

Can't believe that were 17 minutes! Great style of explanation! I appreciate that you speak relatively fast, even as a non-native it was just perfect to follow along. Hallo but where

[@erikleo5727]

Looks good, I can't wait for the day these types of tutorials use typescript by default

[@stelagadevska4342]

Thank you for the simplified explanation! It was easy to understand and still interesting. Great tutorial! :)👏🧠

[@maheshgunjal1092]

Finally found perfect video to understand the video. Good work bro

[@bama2619]

Thank you, great explanation. I am a beginner in SB and React. I just created my first app in react and installed my Sb. Your instructions were helpful. I could not catch up with the speed you created all the components in your story book, because I still have to master js. Great video though! Good for those who already know the js. I have to use typescript.

[@ThiagoVieira91]

Aaaand I just got started on Storybook during an Uber ride. You're awesome, Kyle! Thank you! 💯

[@Tinandel]

Our component design team mandated everybody start using this and.... the Storybook web site does an atrocious job explaining either how to really use Storybook, or the benefits thereof. To that end, thanks for the video.

[@daniamsalem]

For anyone else wondering what is going on at 13:28 when he's iterating over numberOfChildren. I went into the docs and also tested it on the console to figure. it out: 1. defaultValue is just a standard field built into Storybook and is used as a key for a value: storybook.js.org/docs/react/api/argtypes#gatsby-focus-wrapper 2. Starting from the outside, he's spreading values into an array, that's the brackets and the 3 periods aka [...] 3. The values he's spreading into the array above come from the Array(numberofChildren).keys(). I'll explain in two parts. Part 1: we've got an empty array created with a maximum limit of 4 values, that's Array(numberOfChildren) Part 2: that array is then counted out using the keys() function. As stated in MDN, this function returns "An array of strings that represent all the enumerable properties of the given object." Since the array returned from Part 1 was empty, this just counts out the number of indexes (0, 1, 2, 3). 4. As a result, this expression [...Array(numberOfChildren).keys()] returns an array that is [0, 1, 2, 3] 5. When he iterates over it that, the values being passed as "n" are 0, 1, 2, and 3. That explains why he adds a 1 to each value within the brackets {n + 1} Hope that helps!

[@yerkoacuna5037]

Hey, sorry can you help me with a problem related to this? Im trying to do exactly the same as the example of the wrapper component with the argTypes numberOfChildren, but with TypeScript. The problem is that i cannot pass numberOfChildren to my template function throwing an error which says "numberOfChildren does not exist in (my component props)"... And indeed thats true, but thats the point of this example, to use an argtypes that originally does not exist in the component props. I don't know what i'm doing wrong and because i'm new to TS I also don't know how to specify the correct StoryBook Type for fix the error because is not inferring the argtype automatically and after digging in the docs / stack / google for hours im still stuck in this because all the examples that i find with TS only cover the case that the argType exist in the component props. Thanks.

[@thedevguild7525]

Omg, I didn't catch it at first. You rocks! Thanks for the explanation.

[@VacaAlpha]

@@yerkoacuna5037 have you solved it? Im curious about how to fix it, maybe creating an interface and passing it to the object?

[@motr3bam867]

Kyle I have learned so much from you. Thanks man... Thanks ❤

[@jotasenator]

is just me or this chanel is the best ever!!!. thanks Kyle for this video

[@abubakiruralov5543]

you are amazing!!! THANK YOU FOR TEACHING AND PLEASE UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS

Nice timing! I read up quickly on storybooks a month ago and forgot about it. Will be fun to watch this and test some of it myself :D

Ty bro amazing explanation, i learned too much also with the proptypes video, ty !

[@asbeldev3071]

Thanks you. Now i have much more the concept storybook

[@jamesdillon738]

After I've finished creating the horizontal Stack story at 15:30, the 'defaultValue: 4' argType hasn't pulled through to StoryBook. In Storybook it just has 1 red box and it asks me to set the number manually from the Controls section. Has there been an update to the defaultValue argType which explains why this has happened?

[@dragonAwkward]

Nice crash course!

[@madara_uchiha_WB]

Hey bro you are excellent person, you are the one with whom i learned coding. #kyle #WebDevSimplified

[@madara_uchiha_WB]

@@jotasenator yeah he is excellent

[@ДмитрийКарпич]

Thanks for the great video, really clear view to the Storybook.

[@sitedel]

So storybook is a way to describe customized web component's ? I didn't know this tool, great discovery !

[@sitedel]

... but in the example I don't like the idea of setting a color property because It may he difficile to adapt afterwards for dark mode or color blindness. I prefer to associate semantics to a component like "strong", "alert", "warning*, "validate", "reset", "update", "apply", "cancel*, and so on and so forth. Then telling that the "alert" behaviour leaf to white text on red background, to red button with some fancy shadow, can be done with CSS.

[@RyanJohnson]

Finally a Storybook tutorial that works!

[@justinmeskan4410]

Nice intro... Keep them coming my friend

[@travelingmindful]

Appreciate this overview. I sorta wish the child component had been broken into a 2nd video and some use case examples were provided. Why would we ever want stacks of buttons in a UI scenario? Maybe taking the time to provide more context and showing use cases for advanced scenarios would be more helpful. Felt a little intense in the last minutes of the video cramming detail

[@amauryperalta4364]

Excellent video, thanks Kile

[@RizaHariati]

Very clear explanation. Thank you!

This guy is defeating Dev Ed too

[@Ipauler]

great ! simple and short

[@sergeykahnwald6640]

Storybook is a cool package) But there are some cases when we don’t need all the power of storybook, but just a simple “test page” with all our components where we can play with its props. There is one package that works just fine for this, called storybox-react

this is so informative, but also this is the first time I'm using the playback of slowmo in youtube cause sometimes you talk so fast, otherwise super great video!

[@artonthemind]

Hey there, Can you do a video on how Storybook uses Design Tokens and interacts with Figma for a bridge between the 2 teams??

[@pepesabe]

CAN YOU MAKE ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS BUT USING VITE, (not deprecated CRA)? im struggling changing buttons sizes on the browser, it doesnt function

[@faizanmuhammad802]

Simply, create a react project using vite, and then initialize your project with storybook, this is what I did and default examples are working perfectly

[@mfpears]

Makes more sense to put the story file right next to the component

[@ChiragPatel-y1d]

this is great video. but I still do not understand what to do with this storybook?? in real project we have various UI and we use various component libraries. how storybook is helping in that? what is the use of creating such button.stories.js??

[@licokr]

Thank you, it's perfect!

[@supritbeck]

can you make a video on how to use webpack with react.

[@ІванХлиста-б1ч]

Great but it would be nice to add a little bit about snapshot (integration) testing in Storybook!

When you create stories at 10:06 how do you use those buttons in your component ?

[@artem_zakharchuk]

It is very explicit, thank you! But how to use it in my app? Do I need just to import the story Component and work with it like with a simple Component?

[@maresstefan3391]

Really awesome. How caould I publish the components that I use to npm?

Doesn't Typescript cover the use case for propTypes? I worked with ReactJS with TS for over 6 years i large teams and haven't used propTypes. I wonder if Storybook can deduct from TS types instead?

How to install storybook with yarn?? I am facing issues while installing it through yarn.

[@XiagraBalls]

Hmm. I'm trying to do something a bit more complex, I think. I'm trying to create a story for a component which has an parent wrapper. The component itself takes an 'intl' prop which is a complex object (containing functions for formatting currencies, e.g.) and this is dependent on having access to the provider component. Trying to ignore this requirement just leads to an error in Storybook saying the component I'm trying to render needs this provider wrapper. Erm....

[@shekhar_sahu]

What do we do with the stories we just created?
