Storybook

Workshop for building, testing, and documenting UI components in isolation.

Design ToolsFree planFree open source

Storybook is an open-source workshop for building UI components in isolation. Instead of developing a button or a card inside a full app, you build it in Storybook, where you can view every state and variation, adjust props live, and document how it should be used. It supports React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and more.

Key Features

  • Build and preview components in isolation
  • Live prop controls to test every component state
  • Automatic documentation from your code
  • Visual and interaction testing add-ons
  • Accessibility checks built in
  • Supports React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and more

How it works

The tool is a staple for design systems and component-driven teams. It catches visual regressions with snapshot and visual testing, lets designers review components without running the whole app, and produces living documentation that stays in sync with the code. Add-ons extend it with accessibility checks, mock data, and interaction testing.

Storybook is free and open source under the MIT licence, maintained by a large community and backed by Chromatic. The cost is setup time and a learning curve, but for any team with a growing component library, it pays for itself quickly.
