What You'll Master

Storybook Foundations & Setup
Start with a rock-solid understanding of what Storybook is, why teams at Airbnb, Slack, and Microsoft rely on it, and how to set up your first Storybook project. Within minutes, you'll have Storybook running locally and understand how to navigate its powerful interface.

Building Stories That Shine
Learn to craft your first Storybook stories and extend them with real-world variations. Master Storybook parameters to control rendering, display multiple components simultaneously, and leverage Storybook's auto-generated documentation to create beautiful, interactive component showcases that designers and developers will love.

Testing Inside Storybook
Transform Storybook from a documentation tool into your testing powerhouse. You'll write interaction tests directly in Storybook, learn multiple strategies for locating elements, test user actions like typing and deleting, verify function calls, and even use the Storybook Codegen addon to generate tests automatically. Plus, discover headed mode for visual debugging of your Storybook tests.

Data Mocking Mastery
Build realistic Storybook stories without backend dependencies. Learn to mock function calls, external libraries, and network requests using MSW (Mock Service Worker) integration. Your Storybook components will demonstrate real-world behavior with zero server setup required.

Customizing Your Storybook
Make Storybook truly yours. Explore the addon ecosystem, integrate Figma designs directly into Storybook with the design addon for seamless design-dev collaboration, and apply custom theming to match your brand. You'll understand how Storybook addons extend functionality and how to leverage them for maximum productivity.
