Rich Docs With Storybook Mdx

Rich Docs With Storybook Mdx And today i’m excited to introduce fast, fully custom docs in storybook, powered by mdx and available in storybook 5.3! 🎉 mdx enables you to customize storybook’s auto generated documentation with your own components, mix & match docblocks, and loop in non technical teammates. Mdx files mix markdown and javascript jsx to create rich interactive documentation. you can use markdown’s readable syntax (such as # heading) for your documentation, include stories defined in component story format (csf), and freely embed jsx component blocks at any point in the file.

Rich Docs With Storybook Mdx Mdx is a syntax for writing long form documentation with stories side by side in the same file. in contrast to docspage, which provides smart documentation out of the box, mdx gives you full control over your component documentation. Fortunately, more recent versions of mdx are ideologically closer to jsx than standard markdown and with a few quirks, we can write our own jsx blocks without needing to wire up jsx support for our project. Mdx (markdown for jsx) allows you to write markdown mixed with jsx components, which is particularly useful for documenting your components in storybook. this lesson will guide you through the process of using mdx within your storybook project. Storybook is the standard tool for ui component development. it’s used to build the most popular design systems on the web, including shopify polaris, ibm carbon, salesforce lightning, auth0 cosmos….

We have used storybook to document our react component library for a while, and although we love it, we’ve had to use various addon packages and do some hacky things to get components to show how. Tldr: storybook now supports writing rich documentation in mdx, so you no longer need additional libraries to capture component documentation. there are some pre built components you can use to create styled documentation but the feature set is flexible enough to allow for a lot of potential options and customizations for documenting components. Storybook allows you to document components using mdx, which is basically just markdown jsx. this allows a lot more flexibility when it comes to how you display your components, stories, controls, and—of course—documentation. storybook and mdx only supports react. To add an mdx file in storybook: create an .mdx file where you keep your stories. the name used on the file system becomes the automatic title in storybook. write any markdown you want. then import and render any components.
