SDC Story Generator

This module has been marked as obsolete as the new, recommended way of integrating Storybook into SDC and Drupal is not the cl_server module but the newer Storybook module which takes a different approach where *.yml files are no longer needed.

TL;DR

Use drush generate theme:sdc:story or drush generate story to convert a Drupal Single Directory Component *.yml definition to a Storybook Component Story
Format *.yml file.

Which version to use:

Due to breaking changes on Drush generators between 11.x and 12.x, this module has two different versions:

• 1.0.x supports Drush^11.x
• 2.0.x supports Drush^12.x

Why

Drupal's Single Directory Components (SDC) requires components to be defined via a mycomponent.component.yml file. See here for an annotated example and schema details.

Storybook follows the open standard Component Story Format (CSF) (docs) and can be integrated into Drupal using modules such as CL Server.

You can find a reference on how to write a mycomponent.stories.yml here.

The problem

Storybook can automatically infer most of the CSF data from libraries such as React or Vue, but for Drupal we need to manually pass the information using JSON or YML formats.

Since both formats (SDC and CSF) are very similar but incompatible, the process of manually converting from one to the other can easily become cumbersome and annoying.

For example, compare these files that define the same props for both Drupal and Storybook:

my-component.component.yml

name: My Component
status: experimental
props:
  type: object
  required:
    - type
  properties:
    type:
      type: string
      title: Type
      description: Component type
      default: 'primary'
      enum:
        - primary
    rounded:
      type: boolean
      title: Rounded corners
    attributes:
      type: Drupal\Core\Template\Attribute

my-component.stories.yml

title: 'My Theme/My Component'
argTypes:
  type:
    name: type
    type:
      name: string
      required: true
    description: 'Component type'
    table:
      type:
        summary: 'primary | secondary'
      defaultValue:
        summary: primary
    options:
      - primary
      - secondary
  rounded:
    name: rounded
    type: boolean
    table:
      type:
        summary: boolean
  attributes:
    name: attributes
    type: Drupal\Core\Template\Attribute
    table:
      type:
        summary: Drupal\Core\Template\Attribute

How to use

Install the module and run drush generate theme:sdc:story or drush story.

Identify your component by using its full ID, this is mytheme:mycomponent or mymodule:mycomponent. Autocompletion is enabled.

With this information, the drush command will locate your component and produce the resultant *.stories.yml file on the component directory.
