Storybook Toolbars Addon

The Toolbars addon controls global story rendering options from Storybook's toolbar UI. It's a general purpose addon that can be used to:

  • set a theme for your components
  • set your components' internationalization (i18n) locale
  • configure just about anything in Storybook that makes use of a global variable

Installation

Toolbars is part of essentials and so is installed in all new Storybooks by default. If you need to add it to your Storybook, you can run:

npm i -D @storybook/addon-toolbars

Then, add following content to .storybook/main.js:

export default {
  addons: ['@storybook/addon-toolbars'],
};

Usage

The usage is documented in the documentation.

FAQs

How does this compare to addon-contexts?

Addon-toolbars is the successor to addon-contexts, which provided convenient global toolbars in Storybook's toolbar.

The primary difference between the two packages is that addon-toolbars makes use of Storybook's new Story Args feature, which has the following advantages:

  • Standardization. Args are built into Storybook in 6.x. Since addon-toolbars is based on args, you don't need to learn any addon-specific APIs to use it.

  • Ergonomics. Global args are easy to consume in stories, in Storybook Docs, or even in other addons.

  • Framework compatibility. Args are completely framework-independent, so addon-toolbars is compatible with React, Vue, Angular, etc. out of the box with no framework logic needed in the addon.
