This guide outlines the steps required to integrate and configure Storybook for isolated component development and documentation, utilizing Vite as the build tool.
We'll use the official Storybook Command Line Interface (CLI) tool to automatically set up the necessary dependencies and initial configuration for your project.
Execute this command in your project's root directory (where your package.json file is located).
npm installEnsure the following scripts are present in your package.json:
// package.json
"scripts": {
"storybook": "storybook dev -p 6006",
"build-storybook": "storybook build",
// ... other scripts
}Run the Storybook server, which utilizes Vite's Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for fast updates:
npm run storybookStorybook will typically be available at http://localhost:6006.
To create a static build of your component library for hosting (e.g., on Netlify or GitHub Pages):
npm run build-storybookThe final, static output will be generated in the storybook-static folder.
