Migration

Table of contents

from version 2.x.x to 3.x.x

This major release is mainly an internal restructuring. Upgrading requires work on behalf of users, this was unavoidable. We're sorry if this inconveniences you, we have tried via this document and provided tools to make the process as easy as possible.

Webpack upgrade

Storybook will now use webpack 2 (and only webpack 2). If you are using a custom webpack.config.js you need to change this to be compatible. You can find the guide to upgrading your webpack config on webpack.js.org.

Packages renaming

All our packages have been renamed and published to npm as version 3.0.0 under the @storybook namespace.

To update your app to use the new package names, you can use the cli:

npm install --global @storybook/cli

# if you run this inside a v2 app, it should perform the necessary codemods.
getstorybook

Details

If the above doesn't work, or you want to make the changes manually, the details are below:

We have adopted the same versioning strategy as have been adopted by babel, jest and apollo. It's a strategy best suited for ecosystem type tools, which consist of many separately installable features / packages. We think this describes storybook pretty well.

The new package names are:

old new
getstorybook @storybook/cli
@kadira/getstorybook @storybook/cli
@kadira/storybook @storybook/react
@kadira/react-storybook @storybook/react
@kadira/react-native-storybook @storybook/react-native

If your codebase is small, it's probably doable to just replace them by hand. (in your codebase and in package.json).

But if you have a lot of occurrences in your codebase, you can use a codemod we created for you.

A codemod makes automatic changed to your app's code.

You have to change your package.json, prune old and install new dependencies by hand.

npm prune will remove all dependencies from node_modules which are no longer referenced in package.json.

Deprecated embedded addons

We used to ship 2 addons with every single installation of storybook: actions and links. But in practice not everyone is using them, so we decided to deprecate this and in the future they will be completely removed. If you use @storybook/react/addons you will get a deprecation warning.

If you are using these addons, migrating is simple:

  • add the addons you use to your package.json.
  • update your code: change addons.js like so: 
    import '@storybook/addon-actions/register';
import '@storybook/addon-links/register';
    change x.story.js like so: 
    import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import { action } from '@storybook/addon-actions';
import { link } from '@storybook/addon-links';
