| Sidebar & URLS |
Storybook’s sidebar lists all your stories grouped by component. When you have a lot of components you may wish to also group those components. To do so, you can add the / separator to the title of your CSF file and Storybook will group the stories into groups based on common prefixes:
We recommend using a nesting scheme that mirrors the filesystem path of the components. For example, if you have a file components/modals/Alert.js name the CSF file components/modals/Alert.stories.js and title it Components/Modals/Alert.
Roots
By default, Storybook will treat your top-level nodes as “roots”. Roots are displayed in the UI as “sections” of the hierarchy. Lower level groups are displayed as folders:
If you’d prefer to show top-level nodes as folders rather than roots, you can set the sidebar.showRoots option to false in ./storybook/manager.js:
<CodeSnippets paths={[ 'common/storybook-manager-disable-roots.js.mdx', ]} />
Generating titles based on __dirname
As a CSF file is a JavaScript file, the exports (including the default export) can be generated dynamically. In particular you can use the __dirname variable to generate the title based on the path name (this example uses the paths.macro):
<CodeSnippets paths={[ 'common/component-story-dynamic-title.js.mdx', ]} />
Permalinking to stories
By default, Storybook generates an id for each story based on the component title and the story name. This id in particular is used in the URL for each story and that URL can serve as a permalink (especially when you publish your Storybook).
Consider the following story:
<CodeSnippets paths={[ 'common/foo-bar-baz-story.js.mdx', ]} />
Storybook's ID-generation logic will give this the id foo-bar--baz, so the link would be ?path=/story/foo-bar--baz.
It is possible to manually set the id of a story, which in particular is useful if you want to rename stories without breaking permalinks. Suppose you want to change the position in the hierarchy to OtherFoo/Bar and the story name to Moo. Here's how to do that:
<CodeSnippets paths={[ 'common/other-foo-bar-story.js.mdx', ]} />
Storybook will prioritize the id over the title for ID generation, if provided, and will prioritize the story.name over the export key for display.
