What better way to start my time at Callstack than with a new blog post! React Native Storybook today is not the same as it was years ago. Now you can easily remove storybook from your bundle just by disabling it with the metro helper. Check out the post to find out more clstk.com/48QJgDU

Switching between Storybook and your app is now easier than ever. With Metro updates, the new Storybook helper, and Expo env vars, the workflow is insanely smooth. Read our new guide by @dannyhw.com: clstk.com/44mRAd6 It covers everything you need to know!

with vite support in uniwind its now easy to setup for @storybook/react-native-web-vite heres an example project github.com/dannyhw/uniw...

Really excited that I got the chance to write a post for the Expo blog. Thanks so much to expo for the opportunity. This is also the first time I wrote about sharing React Native Storybook. I spent a long time to find an easy approach. (The trick is eas submit and test flight)

🆕 Building beautiful components faster with Storybook 9 and Expo This guest post by @dannyhw.com covers how to: • Add Storybook 9 to an Expo app • Catalog UI states and share them with your team • Distribute Storybook builds using EAS • Reuse stories for automated tests expo.dev/blog/storybo...

In the closing panel for React Native Universe, we discuss cross-platform development with React Native. I talk about how the future of React Native Storybook will likely involve reducing dependencies for better compatibility across platforms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzhd...

Had a great time at @reactuniverseconf.com today

Heres a cool thing you can do with expo router protected routes outside of auth. Basically simpler way to block off a storybook screen when not in dev or whatever logic for when it should show. also combine this with expo-dev-menu for easy swapping back/forth code: github.com/dannyhw/expo...

You can try react native storybook 9 with the template npx create-expo-app --template expo-template-storybook@next UniversalStorybook Template is also updated for expo 53

Following my post earlier about the new deep link feature in react native storybook alpha heres how you can use that together with maestro to test your stories note I've generated a maestro test file with a simple script since maestro scripting is not really a thing www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_JE...

anyone using vitest for unit testing react native?

To clearly state my goals atm, I want: - CRA fixed, so beginners don't hit errors - CRA clearly deprecated (docs and CLI), and pointing to "do X instead" - A clear recommended alternative to CRA, plus migration paths off existing CRA _and_: - Docs listing "SPA" as valid and Vite as recommended
