# Set up Storybook for Angular Projects
|
|
|
|
This guide will walk you through setting up [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org) for Angular projects in your Nx workspace.
|
|
|
|
{% callout type="warning" title="Set up Storybook in your workspace" %}
|
|
You first need to set up Storybook for your Nx workspace, if you haven't already. You can read the [Storybook plugin overview guide](/packages/storybook) to get started.
|
|
{% /callout %}
|
|
|
|
## Generate Storybook Configuration for an Angular project
|
|
|
|
You can generate Storybook configuration for an individual Angular project by using the [`@nx/angular:storybook-configuration` generator](/packages/angular/generators/storybook-configuration), like this:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx g @nx/angular:storybook-configuration project-name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Auto-generate Stories
|
|
|
|
The [`@nx/angular:storybook-configuration` generator](/packages/angular/generators/storybook-configuration) has the option to automatically generate `*.stories.ts` files for each component declared in the library. The stories will be generated using [Component Story Format 3 (CSF3)](https://storybook.js.org/blog/storybook-csf3-is-here/).
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
<some-folder>/
|
|
├── my.component.ts
|
|
└── my.component.stories.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you add more components to your project, and want to generate stories for all your (new) components at any point, you can use the [`@nx/angular:stories` generator](/packages/angular/generators/stories):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx g @nx/angular:stories --project=<project-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% callout type="note" title="Example" %}
|
|
Let's take for a example a library in your workspace, under `libs/feature/ui`, called `feature-ui`. This library contains a component, called `my-button`.
|
|
|
|
The command to generate stories for that library would be:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx g @nx/angular:stories --project=feature-ui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and the result would be the following:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
<workspace name>/
|
|
├── apps/
|
|
├── libs/
|
|

|
|
└── etc...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% /callout %}
|
|
|
|
## Cypress tests for Stories
|
|
|
|
The [`@nx/angular:storybook-configuration` generator](/packages/angular/generators/storybook-configuration) gives the option to set up an e2e Cypress app that is configured to run against the project's Storybook instance.
|
|
|
|
To launch Storybook and run the Cypress tests against the iframe inside of Storybook:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx run project-name-e2e:e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The url that Cypress points to should look like this:
|
|
|
|
`'/iframe.html?id=buttoncomponent--primary&args=text:Click+me!;padding;style:default'`
|
|
|
|
- `buttoncomponent` is a lowercase version of the `Title` in the `*.stories.ts` file.
|
|
- `primary` is the name of an individual story.
|
|
- `style=default` sets the `style` arg to a value of `default`.
|
|
|
|
Changing args in the url query parameters allows your Cypress tests to test different configurations of your component. You can [read the documentation](https://storybook.js.org/docs/angular/writing-stories/args#setting-args-through-the-url) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Example Files
|
|
|
|
Let's take for a example a library in your workspace, under `libs/feature/ui`, called `feature-ui` with a component, called `my-button`.
|
|
|
|
### Story file
|
|
|
|
The [`@nx/angular:storybook-configuration` generator](/packages/angular/generators/storybook-configuration) would generate a Story file that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```typescript {% fileName="libs/feature/ui/src/lib/my-button/my-button.component.stories.ts" %}
|
|
import { Meta } from '@storybook/angular';
|
|
import { MyButtonComponent } from './my-button.component';
|
|
|
|
export default {
|
|
title: 'MyButtonComponent',
|
|
component: MyButtonComponent,
|
|
} as Meta<MyButtonComponent>;
|
|
|
|
export const Primary = {
|
|
render: (args: MyButtonComponent) => ({
|
|
props: args,
|
|
}),
|
|
args: {
|
|
text: 'Click me!',
|
|
padding: 10,
|
|
disabled: true,
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cypress test file
|
|
|
|
For the library described above, Nx would generate an E2E project called `feature-ui-e2e` with a Cypress test file that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```typescript {% fileName="apps/feature-ui-e2e/src/e2e/my-button/my-button.component.cy.ts" %}
|
|
describe('feature-ui', () => {
|
|
beforeEach(() =>
|
|
cy.visit(
|
|
'/iframe.html?id=mybuttoncomponent--primary&args=text:Click+me!;padding:10;disabled:true;'
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
it('should contain the right text', () => {
|
|
cy.get('button').should('contain', 'Click me!');
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Depending on your Cypress version, the file will end with `.spec.ts` or `.cy.ts`.
