storybook.js.org
Introducing agent skills for React Native Storybook Teach your coding agent to: - Setup any project React Native project with @storybook.js.org - Write stories like a pro npx skills add storybookjs/react-native
Wouldn't it be nice to have all platforms in a single @storybook.js.org window? @chmal.it and myself worked on this prototype to stream your local simulators to the Storybook canvas. Let us know if you're interested in this!
What better way to start my time at Callstack than with a new blog post! React Native Storybook today is not the same as it was years ago. Now you can easily remove storybook from your bundle just by disabling it with the metro helper. Check out the post to find out more clstk.com/48QJgDU

Really excited that I got the chance to write a post for the Expo blog. Thanks so much to expo for the opportunity. This is also the first time I wrote about sharing React Native Storybook. I spent a long time to find an easy approach. (The trick is eas submit and test flight)

I've been working for a while on getting React Native Web to work on Storybook with Vite. Today I want to share a Vite Plugin to make it easier to run React Native Web. Also a bit about how it came about. This is for those trying to do something a bit outside the box 😄
Working on a new version of the expo template that is based on expo-router. Try it out with this command npx create-expo-app --template expo-template-storybook@next ExpoRouterStorybook

The react native rc is now also available. Make sure to set everything to 9.0.0-rc.4. The default for the storybook config folder became .rnstorybook and that should be the only real breaking change from v8.
Storybook 9 is now in RC! That means everything shared in this post is now even more ready for you to use in your projects. 🆙 Upgrade - npx storybook@9 upgrade 🆕 Get started - npm create storybook@9
Heres a cool thing you can do with expo router protected routes outside of auth. Basically simpler way to block off a storybook screen when not in dev or whatever logic for when it should show. also combine this with expo-dev-menu for easy swapping back/forth code: github.com/dannyhw/expo...
You can try react native storybook 9 with the template npx create-expo-app --template expo-template-storybook@next UniversalStorybook Template is also updated for expo 53
Storybook 9 is now in beta! It’s ready for you to try today. Let’s see what’s inside…
Following my post earlier about the new deep link feature in react native storybook alpha heres how you can use that together with maestro to test your stories note I've generated a maestro test file with a simple script since maestro scripting is not really a thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_JE...

I've had this example of storybook in expo router navigating with search params. yesterday I realised that I could just build it into Storybook without the router using the Linking api. [scheme]://[url]?STORYBOOK_STORY_ID=[story_id] Out in 8.6.0-alpha.0 Feedback welcomed 🙏
Any react native storybook users (on v8+) please give this version a test for me 8.5.5-alpha.3 I'm adding scroll to selected story when opening the story list and would appreciate some user testing. Also includes changes to improve controls compatibility with web. github.com/storybookjs/...
