Quick Start

In order to quick start with the latest storybook-addon-material-ui you can check out create-material-ui-app

It contains the working setup with:

• create-react-app
• Storybook
• Material-UI
• storybook-addon-material-ui

Getting Started

First, install the addon

npm i storybook-addon-material-ui --save-dev

Storybook 6.1

Add storybook-addon-material-ui to the storybook addons:

//.storybook/main.js

module.exports = {
  stories: ['../stories/**/*.stories.(js|mdx)'],
  addons: [
    'storybook-addon-material-ui'
  ],
};

Add the decorator to storybook preview:

//.storybook/preview.js

import { muiTheme } from 'storybook-addon-material-ui'

export const decorators = [
	muiTheme()
];

Note : You can switch between the loaded themes. Out of the box, you have two base themes, but you can simply add your custom themes like this:

//.storybook/preview.js

import { muiTheme } from 'storybook-addon-material-ui'

// Create your own theme like this.
// Note: you can specify theme name in `themeName` field. Otherwise it will be displayed by the number.
// you can specify only required fields overriding the `Light Base Theme`
const newTheme = {
    themeName: 'Grey Theme',
    palette: {
        primary1Color: '#00bcd4',
        alternateTextColor: '#4a4a4a',
        canvasColor: '#616161',
        textColor: '#bdbdbd',
        secondaryTextColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.54)',
        disabledColor: '#757575',
        accent1Color: '#607d8b',
    },
};


export const decorators = [
	muiTheme([newTheme])
];

or even import from elsewhere

//.storybook/preview.js

import { muiTheme } from 'storybook-addon-material-ui'

import theme1 from './src/theme/theme1'
import theme2 from './src/theme/theme2'

export const decorators = [
	muiTheme([theme1, theme2])
];

Storybook 5 (and older versions)

Now, write your stories with Material-UI Addon. By default your stories will be provided with Light Base Theme and Dark Base Theme

import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf, addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';
import {muiTheme} from 'storybook-addon-material-ui';

// Import some examples from react-theming https://github.com/react-theming/react-theme-provider/blob/master/example/
import CardExampleControlled from '../CardExampleControlled.jsx';
import RaisedButtonExampleSimple from '../RaisedButtonExampleSimple.jsx';
import DatePickerExampleSimple from '../DatePickerExampleSimple.jsx';

storiesOf('Material-UI', module)
// Add the `muiTheme` decorator to provide material-ui support to your stories.
// If you do not specify any arguments it starts with two default themes
// You can also configure `muiTheme` as a global decorator.
    .addDecorator(muiTheme())
    .add('Card Example Controlled', () => (
            <CardExampleControlled />
        ))
    .add('Raised Button Example Simple', () => (
            <RaisedButtonExampleSimple />
        ))
    .add('Date Picker Example Simple', () => (
            <DatePickerExampleSimple />
        ));

Note : You can switch between the loaded themes. Out of the box, you have two base themes, but you can simply add your custom themes like this:

import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf, addDecorator } from '@storybook/react';

import {muiTheme} from 'storybook-addon-material-ui';

import CardExampleControlled from '../CardExampleControlled.jsx';
import RaisedButtonExampleSimple from '../RaisedButtonExampleSimple.jsx';
import DatePickerExampleSimple from '../DatePickerExampleSimple.jsx';

// Create your own theme like this.
// Note: you can specify theme name in `themeName` field. Otherwise it will be displayed by the number.
// you can specify only required fields overriding the `Light Base Theme`
const newTheme = {
    themeName: 'Grey Theme',
    palette: {
        primary1Color: '#00bcd4',
        alternateTextColor: '#4a4a4a',
        canvasColor: '#616161',
        textColor: '#bdbdbd',
        secondaryTextColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.54)',
        disabledColor: '#757575',
        accent1Color: '#607d8b',
    },
};



storiesOf('Material-UI', module)
    .addDecorator(muiTheme([newTheme]))
    .add('Card Example Controlled', () => (
            <CardExampleControlled />
        ))
    .add('Raised Button Example Simple', () => (
            <RaisedButtonExampleSimple />
        ))
    .add('Date Picker Example Simple', () => (
            <DatePickerExampleSimple />
        ));
