Installation

npm i -D @ljcl/storybook-addon-cssprops

Enable the addon in .storybook/main.js:

module.exports = {
  addons: ["@ljcl/storybook-addon-cssprops"],
};

To use it inside MDX, or when customising the docs page:

import { CssPropsBlock } from "@ljcl/storybook-addon-cssprops";

Usage

Include your CSS Custom Properties without the initial -- prefix, the addon will apply and document this automatically.

export default {
  title: "Simple Component",
  parameters: {
    cssprops: {
      "css-custom-property-1": {
        value: "hsl(120deg 100% 25% / 49%)",
        description: "Optional description",
      },
    }
  },
} as Meta;

Configuration

The addon can be configured wherever other parameters can be configured (at the Global, Story, or individual story level). It will also attempt to detect between colour and text, this can be overriden by specifying the control property.

parameters: {
  cssprops: {
    // Disable the addon by setting disable to true:
    disable: false,
    // Override the detected default control type:
    "override-property-detection-type": {
      value: "green",
      control: "text",
      description: "Maybe you want 'green' for reasons differing to colour"
    },
    // Override the detected default control type:
    "optional-category-or-subcategory": {
      value: "red",
      category: "Optional",
      subcategory: "Very Optional",
      description: "This property will be grouped under a category called 'Optional', and then a further subcategory of 'Very Optional'",
    },
    // Customise preset colours for the colourpicker
    presetColors: ['#FFF']
  }
}

Adding to DocsPage and MDX

DocsPage

Modify the docs page based by following the storybook docs. Including <CssPropsBlock /> where you prefer.

Development

This monorepo uses npm@7 workspaces, run npm i at the root.

TODO

• [ ] Look for the args of a defined component when in MDX
• [ ] Better specificity when injecting styles (with & without iframes)
• [ ] Reset the default values without requiring a page refresh (ArgsTable)
