Building UI components with Storybook - Benoît Burgener

During the past years, design systems have become more and more popular as interfaces have grown bigger. Creating standalone components and reusing them as much as possible to enforce consistency and performance is an approach used in many projects today. But creating and maintaining such a toolbox can become a mess very quickly if it’s not properly documented and tested. Hopefully many people out there have made amazing tools from the very early stages of Object-Oriented CSS, bringing new functionalities to help us, one after the other. KSS, Hologram, Fabricator, Pattern Lab, Fractal, they all contributed to make documenting UI components easier and better. During this talk, I’ll introduce you to Storybook, probably the most advanced tool out there today and show you what extras it brings to the game.
