+# Storybook for React Native
+
+With Storybook for React Native you can design and develop individual React Native components without running your app.
+
+![Storybook Screenshot](docs/assets/readme/screenshot.png)
+
+For more information visit: [storybook.js.org](https://storybook.js.org)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+The `storybook` CLI tool can be used to add Storybook to your React Native app. Install the `storybook` tool if necessary and run it from your project directory with these commands:
+
+```shell
+cd my-rn-app
+npx -p @storybook/cli sb init
+```
+
+During installation it will ask if you want to install storybook server.
+It allows you to control the storybook from your web browser.
+
+The next thing you need to do is make Storybook UI visible in your app.
+
+### CRNA, React Native vanilla
+
+The easiest way to use Storybook is to simply replace your App with the Storybook UI, which is possible by replacing `App.js` with a single line of code:
+
+```js
+export default from './storybook';
+```
+
+This will get you up and running quickly, but then you lose your app!
+There are multiple options here. for example, you can export conditionally:
+
+```js
+import StorybookUI from './storybook';
+
+import App from './app';
+
+module.exports = __DEV__ ? StorybookUI : App;
+```
+
+### React Native Navigation, other complex use cases
+
+`StorybookUI` is simply a RN `View` component that can be embedded anywhere in your RN application, e.g. on a tab or within an admin screen.
+
+## Start Storybook server (optional)
+
+If you want to control storybook from browser/VS Code/websockets you need install and start the server.
+
+```sh
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+Now, you can open `<http://localhost:7007>` to view your storybook menus in the browser.
+
+## Start App
+
+To see your Storybook stories on the device, you should start your mobile app for the `<platform>` of your choice (typically `ios` or `android`). (Note that due to an implementation detail, your stories will only show up in the left pane of your browser window after your device has connected to this storybook server.)
+
+For CRNA apps:
+
+```sh
+npm run <platform>
+```
+
+For RN apps:
+```sh
+react-native run-<platform>
+```
+
+Once your app is started, changing the selected story in web browser will update the story displayed within your mobile app.
+
+If you are using Android and you get the following error after running the app: `'websocket: connection error', 'Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:7007'`, you have to forward the port 7007 on your device/emulator to port 7007 on your local machine with the following command:
+`adb reverse tcp:7007 tcp:7007`
+
+## Start Command Parameters
+
+The following parameters can be passed to the start command:
+
+```
+-h, --host <host>
+    host to listen on
+-p, --port <port>
+    port to listen on
+--https
+    whether server is running on https
+-c, --config-dir [dir-name]
+    storybook config directory
+-e, --environment [environment]
+    DEVELOPMENT/PRODUCTION environment for webpack
+-i, --manual-id
+    allow multiple users to work with same storybook
+--smoke-test
+    Exit after successful start
+```
+
+## getStorybookUI Options
+
+You can pass these parameters to getStorybookUI call in your storybook entry point:
+
+```
+{
+    onDeviceUI: Boolean (true)
+        -- display navigator and addons on the device
+    disableWebsockets: Boolean (false)
+        -- allows to display stories without running storybook server. Should be used with onDeviceUI
+    secured: Boolean (false)
+        -- use wss/https instead of ws/http
+    host: String (NativeModules.SourceCode.scriptURL)
+        -- host to use
+    port: Number (7007)
+        -- port to use
+    query: String ("")
+        -- additional query string to pass to websockets
+    isUIHidden: Boolean (false)
+        -- should the ui be closed initialy.
+    tabOpen: Number (0)
+        -- which tab should be open. -1 Navigator, 0 Preview, 1 Addons
+    initialSelection: Object (null)
+        -- initialize storybook with a specific story. In case a valid object is passed, it will take precedence over `shouldPersistSelection. ex: `{ kind: 'Knobs', story: 'with knobs' }`
+    shouldPersistSelection: Boolean (true)
+        -- initialize storybook with the last selected story.
+    shouldDisableKeyboardAvoidingView: Boolean (false)
+        -- Disable KeyboardAvoidingView wrapping Storybook's view
+    keyboardAvoidingViewVerticalOffset: Number (0)
+        -- With shouldDisableKeyboardAvoidingView=true, this will set the keyboardverticaloffset (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/keyboardavoidingview#keyboardverticaloffset) value for KeyboardAvoidingView wrapping Storybook's view
+}
+```
