@nrwl/storybook:configuration

Add Storybook configuration to a UI library or an application.

This is a framework-agnostic generator for setting up Storybook configuration for a project.

nx g @nrwl/storybook:configuration

When running this generator, you will be prompted to provide the following:

  • The name of the project you want to generate the configuration for.
  • The uiFramework you want to use. Supported values are: "@storybook/angular", "@storybook/react", "@storybook/react-native", "@storybook/html", "@storybook/web-components", "@storybook/vue", "@storybook/vue3" and "@storybook/svelte".
  • Whether you want to configureCypress. If you choose yes, a Cypress e2e app will be created (or configured) to run against the project's Storybook instance.
  • Whether you want to configureTestRunner. If you choose yes, a test-storybook target will be generated in your project's project.json, with a command to invoke the Storybook test-runner.

You must provide a name and a uiFramework for the generator to work.

You can read more about how this generator works, in the Storybook package overview page.

If you are using Angular, React, React Native or Next.js in your project, it's best to use the framework specific generator:

Examples

Generate Storybook configuration using TypeScript

nx g @nrwl/storybook:configuration ui --uiFramework=@storybook/web-components --tsConfiguration=true

This will generate a Storybook configuration for the ui project using TypeScript for the Storybook configuration files (the files inside the .storybook directory).

Generate Storybook configuration for Storybook version 7

nx g @nrwl/storybook:configuration ui --uiFramework=@storybook/react --storybook7Configuration=true

OR

nx g @nrwl/storybook:configuration ui --storybook7UiFramework=@storybook/react-vite --storybook7Configuration=true

This will generate a Storybook configuration for the ui project using Storybook version 7. It will install the Storybook version 7 dependencies and configure the Storybook configuration files (the files inside the .storybook directory) to use Storybook version 7. You can read more about Storybook 7 Nx support in the Storybook 7 setup guide.

Usage

nx generate configuration ...

By default, Nx will search for configuration in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/storybook:configuration ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g configuration ... --dry-run
