Storybook and React Native
Storybook is a popular tool for the development of
UI components in many of the leading web frameworks including React, Vue and
Angular. It provides a convenient environment for developing components in isolation
from the main app, making the testing of hard-to-reach edge cases easier. Storybook
also supports React Native, bringing the same advantages to mobile developers.
In this talk I'll look at how we have used Storybook in the development of a
new React Native app, sharing some of the key things we have learned along the
way. We will also look at how the structural testing of React Native UI components
can be automated using Storybook and Jest snapshots, providing an additional
option for static front-end testing.
