Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

Besides the many excellent examples we saw in the previous article, there are also amazing integrations we can add to our Storybook.
These integrations vary from themes to specific tests to organizing tools.
The website itself has them categorized into the following categories:
And for each, we can quickly see a description and how many downloads that integrations have.

Many extensions are already available if you use the default installation. For instance, the Essentials are shipped with the base installation, so we don't have to go into further details for those.
Then depending on your needs you might want to look into some specific ones.
This could be either for your specific code base (React, Angular, Bootstrap, and so on) or extensions. Or maybe more global extensions like accessibility, snapshots, pseudo-states, etc.
And besides all of those, we can get some new themes to make our Storybook more unique.
So how do we use these integrations?
They are covered as add-ons so that we can install them.
npm install -D @storybook/{addon-name}
And once installed, we can modify our .storybook/main.js file to include it.
module.exports = {
addons: [
// Other Storybook addons
'@storybook/{addon-name}',
],
};
And that's it. If we spool up our Storybook, we should now have access to the additional integration.
I'd recommend you look at all the fantastic integrations available, as they could help your Storybook become more outstanding.
