Storybook Addon Notes

Storybook Addon Notes allows you to write notes (text or HTML) for your stories in Storybook.

Framework Support

Getting Started

NOTE: Documentation on master branch is for alpha version, stable release is on master

yarn add -D @storybook/addon-notes

Then create a file called addons.js in your Storybook config.

Add following content to it:

// register the notes addon as a tab
import '@storybook/addon-notes/register';
// or register the notes addon as a panel. Only one can be used!
import '@storybook/addon-notes/register-panel';

Now, you can use the notes parameter to add a note to each story.

With React

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';

import Component from './Component';

storiesOf('Component', module).add('with some emoji', () => <Component />, {
  notes: 'A very simple example of addon notes',
});

With Vue

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/vue';

import MyButton from './MyButton.vue';

storiesOf('MyButton', module).add(
  'with some emoji',
  () => ({
    components: { MyButton },
    template: '<my-button>😀 😎 👍 💯</my-button>',
  }),
  {
    notes: 'A very simple example of addon notes',
  }
);

Using Markdown

Using Markdown in your notes is supported, Storybook will load Markdown as raw by default.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import Component from './Component';
import markdownNotes from './someMarkdownText.md';

storiesOf('Component', module).add('With Markdown', () => <Component />, {
  notes: { markdown: markdownNotes },
});

Giphy

When using Markdown, you can also embed gifs from Giphy into your Markdown. Currently, the value gif of the gif prop is used to search and return the first result returned by Giphy.
