Storybook, an open source tool used to build, test, and visualize UI components in isolation.
Modern web developers love component frameworks because they organize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code into reusable chunks, like Lego bricks.
However, a complex code base can still easily descend into chaos, causing components to lose their meaning in life.
Storybook allows developers to extract components into a sandbox where they can be explored and tested without distractions.
Instead of viewing components through the lens of a giant complex component tree that is your application, you get a guide look that breaks everything down individually.
No need to worry about data dependencies or business logic.
This makes it much easier to share your work with other developers or clients who can validate that things actually work the way they're supposed to.
In addition, it has a test runner based on Jest and lay right that can automatically verify whether your component renders without errors and also validate concerns like accessibility, measure performance, and can even do visual regression testing in the cloud want to pinpoint everything you broke with that last CSS tweak.
To get started, create a project with your favorite front end framework like React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and so on, or open an existing won, then run npx storybook init.
Next, find a UI component, then create a matching file ending in dot stories dotjs.
A story is just a function that describes how to render the component.
In many cases, a component will have multiple different variations to show in the story.
Export a function for each one of these variations.
That works, but we can actually change the arguments to a component dynamically directly in the UI.
By creating a template that maps arguments to the component, we can now change the component's behavior on the fly directly in the storybook UI.
It's also possible to write stories in markdown with MDX.
This allows you to not only visualize the component, but also document it at the same time.
And there's a huge collection of add ons to customize the behavior of love your storybook.
You might use actions to keep track of browser events or viewport to analyze components on responsive layouts.
And the measure add on can help you visually debug CSS layout and alignment issues within your stories.
When it comes to testing, you could spot check with your own eyeballs or use the test runner to write automated tests and run them on your CI server.
And finally, share your work with the world by publishing it as a static web application.
This has been Storybook in 100 seconds.

In this video, the speaker explains the benefits of using Storybook as a tool for building and visualizing UI components in isolation. The tool allows developers to extract components from a sandbox and test them against the tool's framework. The tool also allows for flexible editing and customization of component behavior through various actions and tests.
Storybook in 100 Seconds
Storybook is a tool used for testing UI components in isolation that works with JS frameworks like React, Angular, Vue,  and Svelte. It is especially useful for web developers building design systems and shared libraries.
