Implementing a Storybook Component Library

Building a scalable, maintainable library that fosters collaboration and consistency at Designlab.

Front End Development | 2023

Objective

Develop a centralized Storybook component library to enhance collaboration, ensure UI consistency, and document accessibility standards. This ongoing project addresses challenges with fragmented documentation and inconsistent component usage across teams.

Key Features

  • Centralized Repository: A shared resource of prebuilt components for designers, developers, and stakeholders.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed guidelines on use cases, WCAG compliance, and implementation best practices.
  • Project Rendering: Render entire projects in Storybook to evaluate cascading UI impacts.
  • Optimized Deployments: Chromatic trigger file mechanism for efficient resource management.

My Role

I led the implementation of the Storybook component library, creating a structured and centralized repository for prebuilt components.

I collaborated closely with designers to document use cases, accessibility considerations, and best practices, ensuring the library met both design and development needs.

To streamline workflows, I optimized Chromatic deployments, reducing resource usage, and integrated project-wide rendering in Storybook to catch cascading UI issues early. My focus was on building a scalable, maintainable library that fosters collaboration and consistency across teams.
