@nrwl/react:stories

Generate stories/specs for all components declared in a project.

This generator will generate stories for all your components in your project. The stories will be generated using Component Story Format 3 (CSF3).

nx g @nrwl/react:stories project-name

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

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 generateCypressSpecs. If you choose yes, a test file is going to be generated in the project's Cypress e2e app for each of your components.

You must provide a name for the generator to work.

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

Examples

Ignore certain paths when generating stories

nx g @nrwl/react:stories --name=ui --ignorePaths=libs/ui/src/not-stories/**,**/**/src/**/*.other.*

This will generate stories for all the components in the ui project, except for the ones in the libs/ui/src/not-stories directory, 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.

Generate stories using JavaScript instead of TypeScript

nx g @nrwl/react:stories --name=ui --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.

Usage

nx generate stories ...

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/react:stories ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g stories ... --dry-run
