  • Before we get too far into this section, I want to point out that if you also want to build on top of the the KendoReact library, then you don’t have to do most of this – I’ve already done it for you! I’m sharing this how-to process as a guide for the curious. Perhaps you’re doing something similar with a different component library, or maybe you just like to peek behind the curtain and see how things are made – if so, read on! You can preview the finished product here.

  • storybook

    Storybook is a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation. Made for UI development, testing, and documentation.

  • Storybook, a tool for building and documenting UI components, has become integral to the creation and maintenance of component libraries – and design systems. Because Storybook offers an interface for non-developers, allowing anyone to explore, play with, and manipulate the components and documentation, it’s perfect for collaboration. Often, Storybook is mentioned in the context of building component libraries from scratch, but it doesn’t have to be used that way. Storybook is still a powerful tool for customizing, documenting, and sharing our design systems – even if they’re built on top of a third-party component library.
