Storyblok Generator

Storyblok React component generator for Vite Storyblok apps (React/Remix.run).

• Pulls in your components from Storyblok and generates the types for you.
• Generates the components in either a file or folder structure.
• Makes all components editable via the bridge by default.
• Adds per component bundle splitting for better performance.
• Adds full typesafety to your components.
• Supports both kebab-case and camel-case file names.
• Adds shortcuts to regenerate the components and types.

Setup

To get up and running quickly, you first install the vite plugin as a dev dependency in your project.

npm install -D storyblok-generator

Then, in your vite.config.ts file, add the following:

import { storyblokPlugin } from "storyblok-generator"

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [
		storyblokPlugin({
			spaceId: "<your space id>",
			componentsDir: "./storyblok/components",
		}),
	],
})

Usage

Once the plugin is installed and configured, it will generate the components and types for you. You can then import the components in your code and use them as you normally would.

import { components } from "./storyblok/components";
import { storyblokInit, apiPlugin } from "@storyblok/react"

storyblokInit({
	accessToken: "<your access token>",
	use: [apiPlugin],
	// You pass in the components here, the components will be lazy loaded when actually used.
	components,
})

Storyblok CLI Caveats

The Plugin uses the Storyblok CLI to pull the components from your Storyblok space. This means that you need to have the CLI installed on your machine and available in your path.

You will also need to be logged in to the Storyblok CLI properly. You should login via SSO instead of using the username and password combo as that keeps you logged in but after some time the login expires and you need to login again by first logging out and logging in again.
