Add left panel hierarchy support #1329

igor-dv · 2017-06-21T08:28:15Z

What I did

I've added the option to visualize the "namespace syntax" of stories as a hierarchy in the stories panel (left panel).

For example, by providing stories like these:

storiesOf('web.component.Button', module)
  .add('One', ...)
  .add('Two', ...)
  .add('Three', ...)

storiesOf('web.component.Link', module)
  .add('One', ...)
  .add('Two', ...)
  .add('Three', ...)

The left panel will be like this:

web
|  component
|  |  Button
|  |      One    <-- if this is selected, other components are collapsed
|  |      Two
|  |      Three
|  |  Link

You'll be able to control it by defining the new "leftPanelHierarchy" prop of the uiOptions as a true (by default it's false).

How to test

You can run the storybook/lib/ui/example

@igor-dv Thanks for this implementation!
UI and API looks great to me! 👏

I played with this solution and found some issues:

stories with hierarchy are located at the end of stories list even if I add them in the middle
It creates two separate items in the stories list if I .add stories in the middle of hierarchy path. e.g.:

storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs', module)
  .add('with text', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)


storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs.Cells', module)
  .add('with text2', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji2', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)

I've got such menu:

expected behavior: show only one item with stories and a substory item

It doesn't work with Knobs. I tried to change some values - no response.
I played with some nested levels and faced that in some cases it opens not the first item when I select the storyKind.

the way to reproduce

storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs.Cells.simple', module)
  .add('with text', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)

storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs.Cells.more', module)
  .add('with text2', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji2', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)

storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs', module)
  .add('with text', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)

storiesOf('Atoms.Moleculs.Cells', module)
  .add('with text2', () => <Button>Hello Button</Button>)
  .add('with some emoji2', () => <Button>😀 😎 👍 💯</Button>)

When I click Atoms first time it opens all nested items this way:

possible it's overwhelming case thought :)

My suggestion

In general, I like this solution. In order to succeed with this feature don't you mind to collaborate with storybook-addon-chapters wich provides hierarchy as well but in another way? And possible with other developers who'd like to jump to this feature. So we can create a separate branch for this feature and continue the work.

My bad I clicked the wrong button xD

alexandrebodin · 2017-06-22T09:27:59Z

Full disclosure.

I'm working a moving the ui to redux instead of mantra. While doing this I am making a hierarchical view to. I think we should merge @igor-dv PR because my work is not ready yet.

I'll open a PR so @igor-dv can look at it and the kirks I had to handle to make the hierarchy work has I wanted (Hoping this will help you with fix bugs :))

If you want to have a look I'm opening a PR #1334

igor-dv · 2017-06-22T10:45:34Z

@usulpro , thanks for your review.

Regarding the issues:

Fixed
I don't know if it's a desired behavior . I assume that will be provided a "fully qualified" component name.
For example in "Atoms.Molecules" , "Atoms" is a namespace and "Molecules" is a component name. In "Atoms.Molecules.Cells" - "Atoms.Molecules" is a namespace and "Cells" is component name..
Would like to here more people regarding this, but maybe you are right
I checked it with Knobs and it worked for me (added a few examples in cra-kitchen-sink)
After some fixes it looks ok =)

Regarding the storybook-addon-chapters. I've considered it as an alternative for the projects in a company I work, but it didn't meet our needs.

It always changes the context of the stories in the left panel
It adds things to the preview section

In general, I think that the left panel should look like most of the IDEs files explorer (or how it's called..)

Though I am big fan of the plugins idea, Storybok addons api doesn't allow us to create a proper addon for the left panel..

Anyway, I think it's a great plugin, and would like to help with it.

After a bit UI changes, it looks like this now:

@igor-dv my guess is that "toggle story hierarchy" is gratuitous. My guess is that we release this as a backwards-compatible feature in 3.2 and then, assuming lots of people use it, we just make it the default in 4.0.

shilman · 2017-06-23T07:30:02Z

@igor-dv I think it would be nice to be able to pass a function that constructs the hierarchy from the story name. So by default that would be (storyName) => storyName.split(".") but that it could be overridden in the configuration.

Use cases:

Sketch symbols use the naming convention a/b/c/SymbolName, and I've considered exporting these to Storybook as part of a design system
I've also done things like kindName-storyName_deviceSize and would probably override the default in some collaboration-related features I've developed in private addons.

igor-dv · 2017-06-23T07:35:38Z

@shilman
Regarding the splitting - great idiea. I felt it's a bit hardcoded. So i can provide it as a parameter in the
uiOptions.leftPanelHierarchy

like by default it's a boolean - uiOptions.leftPanelHierarchy = false

but in a more expanded way it's

uiOptions.leftPanelHierarchy = {
  enabled: true,
  split: story => (storyName) => storyName.split(".")
}

WDYT ?

shilman · 2017-06-23T07:38:48Z

@igor-dv another idea (don't know if it's a good one):

Existing behavior (default):

uiOptions = {
  storyHierarchy: (storyName) => [storyName]
}

New behavior:

uiOptions = {
  storyHierarchy: (storyName) => storyName.split('.')
}

alexandrebodin · 2017-06-23T07:39:49Z

I'm picky but I'm not sur about using 'Kind1.Kind2'
I would suggest a path like syntax 'Kind1/Kind2' to communicate the intent a bit more.

In my opinion . might be uses widely for any other meaning. and / is already used by users to have a visual clue of the separation. This would bring direct benefits to those already using this standard way of declaring URI don't you think ?

shilman · 2017-06-23T07:40:47Z

@alexandrebodin I don't have a strong opinion about this, but / would also be my preferred choice (see the Sketch comment above)

igor-dv · 2017-06-23T08:10:29Z

@shilman

uiOptions = {
  storyHierarchy: (storyName) => [storyName]
}

That works.. but toggling became harder to handle.. I need to add something to state..

@alexandrebodin
If we will provide the splitting function as an option, it will be easier to tweak this..
WDYT ?

shilman · 2017-06-23T08:15:44Z

@igor-dv why do we need toggling?

Also, this may be out of scope, but how hard would it be to replace the left panel with a generic tree widget, such as react-treebeard with custom styles and key-bindings.

I think Storybook's custom list UI kind of made sense when it was a flat list, but now that we have hierarchy, there are already common UI's for dealing with this that everybody (including non-engineers) are used to using.

shilman · 2017-06-23T08:40:00Z

examples/cra-kitchen-sink/src/stories/index.js

+
+// Atomic
+
+storiesOf('Atoms.Molecules.Cells.simple', module)


I think the order is backwards: Cells.Molecules.Atoms?

possible we could get our existing kitchen-sink stuff and reorganize in a hierarchical way?

"breaking"?

As far as I checked - no. But maybe it's already has another meaning.. Anyway the hierarchy is built after the filtering:

igor-dv · 2017-06-23T09:24:54Z

@shilman
I just thought toggling will be a nice thing, but you are right, I don't see benefits of having the old style view.

treebeard - interesting, I'll check it..

igor-dv · 2017-06-23T09:26:51Z

I think a better name will be

uiOptions = {
  resolveStoryHierarchyNamespace: (storyName) => [storyName]
}

shilman · 2017-06-23T12:44:42Z

@igor-dv how about just resolveStoryHierarchy ... or something a little shorter! 😄
