Chakra UI + Storybook

Use the official Storybook Addon for Chakra UI to configure Storybook to automatically wrap your stories with the <ChakraProvider /> and add a color mode toggle.

Installation#

yarn add -D @chakra-ui/storybook-addon
yarn add @chakra-ui/icons

npm i -D @chakra-ui/storybook-addon
npm i @chakra-ui/icons

Usage#

Add the addon to your configuration in .storybook/main.js:

module.exports = {
  addons: ['@chakra-ui/storybook-addon'],
}

You can specify global parameters for the addon in .storybook/preview.js. These options are the same as the props to ChakraProvider (without children).

// .storybook/preview.js

const theme = require('../path/to/your/theme')

export const parameters = {
  chakra: {
    theme,
  },
}
