Storybook Docs for Vue

Storybook Docs transforms your Storybook stories into world-class component documentation. Storybook Docs for Vue supports DocsPage for auto-generated docs, and MDX for rich long-form docs.

To learn more about Storybook Docs, read the general documentation. To learn the Vue specifics, read on!

• DocsPage
• MDX
• Inline stories

Installation

First add the package. Make sure that the versions for your @storybook/* packages match:

yarn add -D @storybook/addon-docs@next

Then add the following to your .storybook/presets.js exports:

module.exports = ['@storybook/addon-docs/preset'];

DocsPage

When you install docs you should get basic DocsPage documentation automagically for all your stories, available in the Docs tab of the Storybook UI.

Props tables for your components requires a few more steps. Docs for Vue relies on Addon-vue-info's loader. It supports props, events, and slots as first class prop types.

Finally, be sure to fill in the component field in your story metadata:

import { InfoButton } from './InfoButton.vue';

export default {
  title: 'InfoButton',
  component: InfoButton,
};

If you haven't upgraded from storiesOf, you can use a parameter to do the same thing:

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

storiesOf('InfoButton', module)
  .addParameters({ component: InfoButton })
  .add( ... );

MDX

MDX is a convenient way to document your components in Markdown and embed documentation components, such as stories and props tables, inline.

Docs has peer dependencies on react, react-is, and babel-loader. If you want to write stories in MDX, you'll need to add these dependencies as well:

yarn add -D react react-is babel-loader

Then update your .storybook/config.js to make sure you load MDX files:

configure(require.context('../src/stories', true, /\.stories\.(js|mdx)$/), module);

Finally, you can create MDX files like this:

import { Meta, Story, Props } from '@storybook/docs/blocks';
import { InfoButton } from './InfoButton.vue';

<Meta title='InfoButton' component={InfoButton} />

# InfoButton

Some **markdown** description, or whatever you want.

<Story name='basic' height='400px'>{{
  components: { InfoButton },
  template: '<info-button label="I\'m a button!"/>',
}}</Story>

## Props

<Props of={InfoButton} />

Yes, it's redundant to declare component twice. Coming soon.

Inline Stories

Storybook Docs renders all Vue stories inside IFrames, with a default height of 60px (configurable using the docs.iframeHeight story parameter).

Starting in 5.3, you can also render stories inline, and in 6.0 this will become the default behavior. To render inline, update .storybook/config.js:

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

addParameters({
  docs: {
    inlineStories: true,
  },
});
