About this version
Tool for building UI components in isolation, and an easy way to document them.
Install the library by running npm install @kivra/toybox
(it is currently only available on Github registry)
You will now need to create a config file for toybox. The file must be named toybox.config.ts
and be placed in the root folder of your project. All paths will be relative to this file.
// toybox.config.ts
import type { Config } from "@kivra/toybox";
const config: Config = {
storyPath: "src",
wrapperComponent: {
path: "@kivra/react-components",
componentName: "KivraTheme",
},
title: "My web app",
emojiIcon: "π",
};
module.exports = config;
You are now ready to start Toybox: npx toybox
.
To create a story is easy.
Just create a file that ends with .story.tsx
or .story.md
if you just want to write markdown text.
For example. If you have a component called Button.tsx
, create a file that is called Button.story.tsx
beside it and add the follwoing code:
import type { Story } from '@kivra/toybox';
import { Button } from './Button';
export const story: Story = {
header: {
// Title of story
title: 'Button',
// Three different types of buttons are available, github, figma or designsystem.
// Url for github type is optional, we will try to generate a url based on the component name. You could also give it a value if you prefer.
// Figma url is a link to the design of the component.
// designsystem is our documentation helper that gives developers more detailed documentation of the component.
storyButtons: [
{ type: 'github' },
{
type: 'figma',
url: 'https://www.figma.com/file/cqWQxzXlhuLc5SRXemxy4F/Kivra-Style-Guide?node-id=20746%3A39897',
},
{
type: 'designsystem'
url: 'https://design.kivra.com/07ebba6a7/p/91f64e-intro',
},
],
// Description of the component
description:
'Buttons communicate actions that users can take. Button labels express what action will occur when the user interacts with it.',
},
stories: [
{
name: 'How to use the Button component', // The name of this story
center: true, // Should the component be in center or not
/**
* The code template will show how to use the component.
* `props` is a string representation of all stings in a single line.
* If you wnat to show the props on multi lines you can use `props.asMultiline(indentSpace)` instead.
*/
codeTemplate: (props, children) => `
<Button${props}>
${children}
</Button>`,
render({ boolean, text, segment, button }, action) {
// This will add a control button but will not add any extra props in `codeTemplate`
button('Click on me', () => alert('Hello!'));
return (
<Button
disabled={boolean({ name: 'disabled', value: false })} // It is important that `name` match the property name, in order to make `codeTemplate` work as expected
size={segment({
name: 'size',
value: 'small',
options: [
['big', 'Big'],
['small', 'Small'],
],
defaultValue: 'small', // This is the default value of the propery so if this value is selected the prop will not appear in `codeTemplate`.
})}
startIcon={
boolean({
name: 'startIcon',
value: false,
mapValueToTextProp: v => (v ? '<TopIcon />' : undefined), // You can map a prop value to another value in `codeTemplate`
}) && <TopIcon />
}
onClick={action('Button click')} // This will print the text "Button click" and the event under the component
>
{text({ displayName: 'text', name: 'children', value: 'Save' })}
</Button>
);
