About

Open source frontend workshop for building, testing, and documenting UI components in isolation, supporting all major frameworks.

Overview

Storybook is the de facto standard tool for developing and documenting UI component libraries in isolation from application business logic. It is valued by frontend teams for accelerating component development, enabling visual testing, and producing living documentation that stays in sync with code. The most common pain points are configuration overhead when first integrating into an existing project and slower build performance in very large component libraries.
