A short, focused lesson on dropping React Storybook into a project you already have, rather than starting a new one just to try it out.
What you'll do
- Install Storybook into an existing React codebase with npx storybook init
- Understand the three main configuration files — main.js for entry points and addons, preview.js for global decorators and parameters, and manager.js for the Storybook UI itself
- Adjust each of these to fit your project's structure
The goal is simple: get Storybook running properly so you can build and test components in isolation, with a nod to good habits along the way — writing a story per component and keeping story files organized consistently.
