Build bulletproof UI components faster
Storybook is a development environment for UI components. It allows you to browse a component library, view the different states of each component, and interactively develop and test components.
View README for:
Storybook runs outside of your app. This allows you to develop UI components in isolation, which can improve component reuse, testability, and development speed. You can build quickly without having to worry about application-specific dependencies.
Here are some featured examples that you can reference to see how Storybook works: https://storybook.js.org/docs/examples/
Storybook comes with a lot of addons for component design, documentation, testing, interactivity, and so on. Storybook's API makes it possible to configure and extend in various ways. It has even been extended to support React Native development for mobile.

First install storybook:
cd my-react-app
npx sb initIf you'd rather set up your project manually, take a look at our Slow Start Guide.
Once it's installed, you can npm run storybook and it will run the development server on your local machine, and give you a URL to browse some sample stories.

Installs package dependencies and links packages together - using lerna
boolean check if code conforms to linting rules - uses remark & eslint
yarn lint:js- will check jsyarn lint:md- will check markdown + code samplesyarn lint:js --fix- will automatically fix js
boolean check if unit tests all pass - uses jest
yarn run test --core --watch- will run core tests in watch-mode
