hygen VS yo

My comment was misleading-I don’t know if Storybook has native support, but using typescript (or Babel, or any parser) you can analyze a component and automatically create stories with good foundational docs. In the past, I’ve used Hygen and a handful of scripts that were tied into our commit workflow that handled generating boilerplate stories for new components and then automatically updated the stories when any changes to props were picked up.

You can look at Hygen: https://github.com/jondot/hygen

this allows you to import this Header component with import { Header } from 'path/Header' without Header/Header. Creating this structure manually is annoying, so one will benefit from some code generators like plop or hygen.

Yeoman

I am familiar with Yeoman but the project appears dead. There are no replies to recent comments and the last release was a year ago. I would prefer to not use a dead/dying project as the basis for a new work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

We'll need to install the Yeoman scaffolding CLI tools as well as the generator.

Have you tried yo? Haven't tried it much so can't say for sure but it's a pretty common recommendation for project generators.

First let's install yeoman, a scaffolding tool for webapps, and yeoman's generator plugin for VSCode.
