• Module name/project name:
  • Storybook
• Brief description:
  • The storybook module makes it easier to create a connection between Drupal and Storybook. It adds some Twig functionality so you can write Stories in Twig as opposed to YML or JSON or React
• Brief history
  • How old: Less than a year
  • Versions available: Alpha4 came out earlier this month
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained: Yes
  • Number of open issues: 6
  • Test coverage: no
• Usage stats:
  • N/A: for development only
  • Maintainer(s):
  • Mateu Aguiló Bosch (e0ipso) from Lullabot.
  • Module features and usage
  • Twig based stories
  • Pulls in Sites theme and base css.
  • So needs some updates to the development.services.yml
  • Also means it is hard to publish a storybook.
  • No need for SDC (but works well with it)
  • Great instructions on the module page
  • Way easier than previous integrations including cl_server.
  • Not as opinionated as previous storybook integrations.
