Some stubs to make it easier to use Storybook in a Meteor project
Currently using an older version of Storybook that is node 14 compatible
Look in example/.storybook/__mocks__/meteor for Meteor mocks
This is by no means complete. I added things to allow to storybook to run and be useful. You can take it further and contribute
It does not support any Tracker functions or database read/writes
You can stub your own Meteor methods if you want, that's not hard to do
Storybook is useful for a number of things
- To preview components before the app is finished (eg in design phase)
- To preview components with different data, including long texts, foreign languages etc
- To test components with data that may be hard to do in the finished app itself.
- As a reference for your designs
- As a kind of documentation
If you use the React container pattern properly, and separate out any Meteor and API calls into wrapper components, or a context, then you won't need it.
If you have programmers who don't follow the pattern, or an existing code base, then you will need it to help you get Storybook to a point where it helps you.
