At mewt, we believe in delivering high-quality applications that are efficient and user-friendly. Our developers work hard to ensure that every aspect of our applications is up to the mark and meets the needs of our users. In this blog, we would like to highlight the reason why we choose to use Storybook in our development process.
Storybook is an open-source tool that makes the development process faster and easier for us. As a company which uses React JS for frontend development, we rely heavily on components to build applications. Components are combined to form pages, which are then used to create the final product. Storybook helps us to keep our components organized and maintain the standard design across all our applications.
One of the fundamental principles of software development is DRY, which stands for Don’t Repeat Yourself. This principle helps improve the quality of the code and makes it more readable. By using reusable components, we can achieve this easily. With the increasing size and complexity of the application, it becomes challenging to keep track of the functionalities of different components, making debugging difficult. This is where Storybook comes in as a lifesaver.
Storybook acts as a UI component library that makes the development process effortless and rapid. It has all the building blocks required for application development, allowing our developers to focus on the app’s business logic instead of worrying about the UI. With Storybook, we can keep the business logic separate, making it easier to maintain and debug.
Maintaining clear documentation of all the components and their states is essential for any software development company. This helps other developers understand and use various components with the required variations depending on the use case. Storybook takes this to the next level by providing interactive documentation that helps developers visualize what they can achieve with a particular component and set of states.
Each story in Storybook allows us to view specific variations of components that can be achieved with a change of states. This makes it easier for us to test and debug components without having to go through the entire application. Moreover, we can view components’ states that would be hard to reach in a regular app entangled with business logic. With Storybook, we can visualize the components and their states and even view example codes that developers can use.
In conclusion, Storybook has made a significant impact on our development process. It has made it easier for us to keep our components organized, maintain a standard design, and improve development speed.
