storybook-addon-custom-event-broadcaster v2.0.1

storybook-addon-custom-event-broadcaster

Custom panel tab to send custom events to components.

This addon adds a tab to the addon panel. It has a set of input fields. The input of these fields are used to create a custom event.

Install

npm install storybook-addon-custom-event-broadcaster

Add the addon to the storybook configuration:

// .storybook/main.js
module.exports = {
 ...
  addons: [
   ...
    'storybook-addon-custom-event-broadcaster',
  ],
};

Configuration in your story

To configure your story you need to add an customEventPanel-object to the parameters section. it has one required parameter eventName and two optional parameters eventData,selector. It is analogous to the three input fields.

If the selector-field is empty, the event will be fired on the document-object of the page. if it is filled it will fire the event on the selected node.

// \*.stories.jsx
// example configuration of 3 lines
export default {
  title: "Content/MyStory",
  parameters: {
    customEventPanel: [
      {
        eventName: "event:example",
      },
      {
        eventName: "my:event",
        eventData: {
          opt: 23,
        },
        selector: ".selector",
      },
      {
        eventName: "my:otherevent",
        eventData: {
          foo: 23,
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  argTypes: {},
};

Switch from TypeScript to JavaScript

Don't want to use TypeScript? We offer a handy eject command: npm run eject-ts

This will convert all code to JS. It is a destructive process, so we recommended running this before you start writing any code.
