This generator will set up Storybook for your React Native project.

nx g @nx/react-native:storybook-configuration project-name

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

• The name of the project you want to generate the configuration for.
• Whether you want to set up Storybook interaction tests (interactionTests). If you choose yes, a play function will be added to your stories, and all the necessary dependencies will be installed. Also, a test-storybook target will be generated in your project's project.json, with a command to invoke the Storybook test-runner. You can read more about this in the Nx Storybook interaction tests documentation page..
• Whether you want to generateStories for the components in your project. If you choose yes, a .stories.ts file will be generated next to each of your components in your project.

You must provide a name for the generator to work.

By default, this generator will also set up Storybook interaction tests. If you don't want to set up Storybook interaction tests, you can pass the --interactionTests=false option, but it's not recommended.

There are a number of other options available. Let's take a look at some examples.

Examples

Generate Storybook configuration

nx g @nx/react-native:storybook-configuration ui

This will generate Storybook configuration for the ui project using TypeScript for the Storybook configuration files (the files inside the .storybook directory, eg. .storybook/main.ts).

Ignore certain paths when generating stories

nx g @nx/react-native:storybook-configuration ui --generateStories=true --ignorePaths=libs/ui/src/not-stories/**,**/**/src/**/*.other.*,apps/my-app/**/*.something.ts

This will generate a Storybook configuration for the ui project and generate stories for all components in the libs/ui/src/lib directory, except for the ones in the libs/ui/src/not-stories directory, and the ones in the apps/my-app directory that end with .something.ts, and also for components that their file name is of the pattern *.other.*.

This is useful if you have a project that contains components that are not meant to be used in isolation, but rather as part of a larger component.

By default, Nx will ignore the following paths:

*.stories.ts, *.stories.tsx, *.stories.js, *.stories.jsx, *.stories.mdx

but you can change this behaviour easily, as explained above.

Generate stories using JavaScript instead of TypeScript

nx g @nx/react-native:storybook-configuration ui --generateStories=true --js=true

This will generate stories for all the components in the ui project using JavaScript instead of TypeScript. So, you will have .stories.js files next to your components.

Generate Storybook configuration using JavaScript

nx g @nx/react-native:storybook-configuration ui --tsConfiguration=false

By default, our generator generates TypeScript Storybook configuration files. You can choose to use JavaScript for the Storybook configuration files of your project (the files inside the .storybook directory, eg. .storybook/main.js).
