Storybook Setup

Configure Storybook for comprehensive component documentation and testing.

Core Workflow

1. Initialize Storybook: Setup with framework
2. Configure addons: Controls, actions, a11y
3. Write stories: Document components
4. Add documentation: MDX pages
5. Setup testing: Visual regression
6. Deploy docs: Static hosting

Installation

# Initialize Storybook
npx storybook@latest init

# Or with specific framework
npx storybook@latest init --type react
npx storybook@latest init --type nextjs
npx storybook@latest init --type vue3
