This snippet:
```
import { window } from 'global';
```
will let you mock window variables in Jest tests.
However, it breaks hot module reloading in Vite,
because Vite injects code snippets in top of every
file:
```
window.STUFF = 'Vite injected some HMR code here';
import { window } from 'global';
// this fails: Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'window' before initialization
```
The simple solution is to rename `window` when importing it:
```
import { window as globalWindow } from 'global';
globalWindow.alert('hello world');
```
The code works like before, but Vite will be able to
inject its code snippet without interfering with the
rest of the code.
Storybook for React
Storybook for React is a UI development environment for your React components. With it, you can visualize different states of your UI components and develop them interactively.
Storybook runs outside of your app. So you can develop UI components in isolation without worrying about app specific dependencies and requirements.
Getting Started
cd my-react-app
npx -p @storybook/cli sb init
For more information visit: storybook.js.org
Storybook also comes with a lot of addons and a great API to customize as you wish. You can also build a static version of your storybook and deploy it anywhere you want.
Here are some featured storybooks that you can reference to see how Storybook works:
Create React App
Support for Create React App is handled by @storybook/preset-create-react-app.
This preset enables support for all Create React App features, including Sass/SCSS and TypeScript.
Typescript
@storybook/react is now exporting its own types to use with Typescript.
You don't need to have @types/storybook__react installed anymore if it was your case.
But you probably also need to use types from @types/node @types/react.
