Using Storybook with Angular and Vite

Storybook is a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation.

By default, Angular and Storybook uses Webpack to build and serve the Storybook application.

This guides you through the process of switching to building and serving your Storybook with Angular using Vite. This process can be applied to any Angular project using Storybook.

Setting up Storybook​

If you don't have Storybook setup already, run the following command to initialize Storybook for your project:

npx storybook@latest init

Follow the provided prompts, and commit your changes.

Installing the Storybook and Vite packages​

Install the Vite Plugin for Angular and the Vite Builder for Storybook. Depending on your preferred package manager, run one of the following commands:

npm install @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular @storybook/builder-vite --save-dev

Configuring Storybook to use the Vite Builder​

Update the .storybook/main.ts file to use the @storybook/builder-vite and add the viteFinal config function to configure the Vite Plugin for Angular.

import { StorybookConfig } from '@storybook/angular';
import { StorybookConfigVite } from '@storybook/builder-vite';
import { UserConfig } from 'vite';

const config: StorybookConfig & StorybookConfigVite = {
  // other config, addons, etc.
  core: {
    builder: {
      name: '@storybook/builder-vite',
      options: {
        viteConfigPath: undefined,
      },
    },
  },
  async viteFinal(config: UserConfig) {
    // Merge custom configuration into the default config
    const { mergeConfig } = await import('vite');
    const { default: angular } = await import('@analogjs/vite-plugin-angular');

    return mergeConfig(config, {
      // Add dependencies to pre-optimization
      optimizeDeps: {
        include: [
          '@storybook/angular',
          '@storybook/angular/dist/client',
          '@angular/compiler',
          '@storybook/blocks',
          'tslib',
        ],
      },
      plugins: [angular({ jit: true, tsconfig: './.storybook/tsconfig.json' })],
    });
  },
};

Remove the existing webpackFinal config function if present.

Next, Update the package.json to run the Storybook commands directly.

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "scripts": {
    "storybook": "storybook dev --port 4400",
    "build-storybook": "storybook build"
  }
}

You can also remove the Storybook targets in the angular.json

If you're using Nx, update your project.json storybook targets to run the Storybook commands:

    "storybook": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "cwd": "apps/my-app",
        "command": "storybook dev --port 4400"
      }
    },
    "build-storybook": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "cwd": "apps/my-app",
        "command": "storybook build --output-dir ../../dist/storybook/my-app"
      }
    }

Add the /storybook-static folder to your .gitignore file.

Running Storybook​

Run the storybook commands directly for running the development server.

npm run storybook

Building Storybook​

Run the storybook commands for building the storybook.

npm run build-storybook
