React Native Storybook Stories

Write stories for React Native components using @storybook/react-native v10 and Component Story Format (CSF).

Quick Start

Minimal story file:

import type { Meta, StoryObj } from '@storybook/react-native';
import { MyComponent } from './MyComponent';

const meta = {
  component: MyComponent,
} satisfies Meta<typeof MyComponent>;

export default meta;
type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;

export const Basic: Story = {
  args: {
    label: 'Hello',
  },
};

File Conventions

• Name: ComponentName.stories.tsx colocated with the component
• Import Meta and StoryObj from @storybook/react-native
• Default export: meta object with satisfies Meta<typeof Component>
• Named exports: UpperCamelCase story names, typed as StoryObj<typeof meta>
• Use args for props, argTypes for control config, parameters for addon config
• Use render for custom render functions, decorators for wrappers

Story Patterns

Multiple stories with shared args

export const Primary: Story = {
  args: { variant: 'primary', title: 'Click me' },
};

export const Secondary: Story = {
  args: { ...Primary.args, variant: 'secondary' },
};

Custom render function

export const WithScrollView: Story = {
  render: (args) => (
    <ScrollView>
      <MyComponent {...args} />
    </ScrollView>
  ),
};

Render with hooks (must be a named function)

export const Interactive: Story = {
  render: function InteractiveRender() {
    const [count, setCount] = useReducer((s) => s + 1, 0);
    return <Counter count={count} onPress={setCount} />;
  },
};

Actions (mock callbacks)

import { fn } from 'storybook/test';

const meta = {
  component: Button,
  args: { onPress: fn() },
} satisfies Meta<typeof Button>;

Or via argTypes:

argTypes: { onPress: { action: 'pressed' } },

Custom story name

export const MyStory: Story = {
  storyName: 'Custom Display Name',
  args: { label: 'Hello' },
};

Custom title / nesting

const meta = {
  title: 'NestingExample/Message/Bubble',
  component: MyComponent,
} satisfies Meta<typeof MyComponent>;

Controls & ArgTypes

For the full control type reference, see references/controls.md.

Common patterns:

const meta = {
  component: MyComponent,
  argTypes: {
    // Select dropdown
    size: {
      options: ['small', 'medium', 'large'],
      control: { type: 'select' },
    },
    // Range slider
    opacity: {
      control: { type: 'range', min: 0, max: 1, step: 0.1 },
    },
    // Color picker
    color: { control: { type: 'color' } },
    // Conditional control (shows only when `advanced` arg is true)
    padding: { control: 'number', if: { arg: 'advanced' } },
  },
} satisfies Meta<typeof MyComponent>;

Auto-detection: TypeScript prop types are automatically mapped to controls (string -> text, boolean -> boolean, union types -> select, number -> number).

Parameters

Addon parameters

parameters: {
  // Markdown docs in the Notes addon tab
  notes: `# MyComponent\nUsage: \`<MyComponent label="hi" />\``,
  // Background options for Backgrounds addon
  backgrounds: {
    default: 'dark',
    values: [
      { name: 'light', value: 'white' },
      { name: 'dark', value: '#333' },
    ],
  },
},

RN-specific UI parameters

Parameters can be set at story, meta (component), or global (preview.tsx) level.

Decorators

Wrap stories in providers, layouts, or context:

const meta = {
  component: MyComponent,
  decorators: [
    (Story) => (
      <View style={{ alignItems

Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add writing-react-native-storybook-stories
2
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
$npx skills add https://github.com/storybookjs/react-native --skill writing-react-native-storybook-storiescopy
The skills CLI fetches writing-react-native-storybook-stories from GitHub repository storybookjs/react-native and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│   • Amp
│   • Antigravity
│   • Cline
│   • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│   • Cursor
│   • Windsurf
4
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/writing-react-native-storybook-stories
Reload or restart Cursor to activate writing-react-native-storybook-stories. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /writing-react-native-storybook-stories) or your agent's skill management interface.
⚠
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
