## Getting started

### 1. Install addon

```bash
npm i -D @skbkontur/storybook-addon-live-examples
```

### 2. Register addon in main.js

```js
module.exports = {
  addons: ['@skbkontur/storybook-addon-live-examples'],
};
```

### 3. Setup addon in preview.js (optional step)

```js
import { addons } from '@storybook/addons';
import { LIVE_EXAMPLES_ADDON_ID } from '@skbkontur/storybook-addon-live-examples';

import AllComponents from '../packages';

addons.setConfig({
  [LIVE_EXAMPLES_ADDON_ID]: {
    // scope (globally accessible components & functions) (optional)
    scope: {
      ...AllComponents,
      someFunction: () => 42,
    },
  },
});
```

````

## Usage

### CSF

Live examples will be rendered instead of the default addon-docs canvas.

Your can customize examples by parameters:

```tsx
export default {
    title: 'Components/Button',
    parameters: {
        scope: {
            scopeValue,
        },
    }
};

const scopeValue = 42;

export const Primary = () => <button>{scopeValue}</button>;

Primary.parameters = {
    expanded: true
};

export const Secondary = () => <button>{scopeValue}</button>;
````

**NOTE:**
_Most likely you will get errors after addon installing. Don't panic, just pass all variables that are used in your story to scope_

### MDX

Inside MDX-based stories you can write your code examples with plain markdown.

**Just put your code inside triple quotes**

````markdown
|`tsx live
|<h4>Wow, so simple</h4>
|`
````

**Or render custom Canvas**

```tsx
// Import custom Canvas from addon
import { Canvas } from 'storybook-addon-live-examples';

<Canvas live={true} scope={{ value: 42 }}>
  <h4>Wow, so simple, {value}</h4>
</Canvas>;
```

**Or use Example directly**

```tsx
import { Example } from 'storybook-addon-live-examples';

<Example live={true} code={`<h4>Wow, so simple</h4>`} />;
```

### [CSF With MDX](https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/master/addons/docs/docs/recipes.md#csf-stories-with-arbitrary-mdx)

```tsx
// Button.stories.js

import mdx from './Button.mdx';

export default {
  title: 'Components/Button',
  parameters: {
    docs: {
      page: mdx,
    },
  },
};

const scopeValue = 42;

export const Primary = () => <button>{scopeValue}</button>;

Primary.parameters = {
  scope: {
    scopeValue,
  },
};
```

```tsx
// Button.mdx

import { ArgsTable, Story } from '@storybook/addon-docs';

import { Button } from './Button';

# Button

<ArgsTable of={Button} />

<Story id='components-button--primary' />
```

## Scope

Storybook-addon-live-examples uses [react-live](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-live) under the hood.

Scope allows you to pass some globals to your code examples.
By default it injects React only, which means that you can use it in code like this:

```tsx
render(() => {
//                                ↓↓↓↓↓
    const [counter, setCounter] = React.useState(0);
    return counter;
}
```

#### - Pass your own components to scope by props

```tsx
import { Canvas } from '@skbkontur/storybook-addon-live-examples';
import MyComponent from '../packages/my-component';

<Canvas live={true} scope={{ MyComponent }}>
  <MyComponent>Amazing</MyComponent>
</Canvas>;
```

#### - Setup scope globally

This is the easiest way to setup scope once for an entire project

```tsx
//.storybook/manager.js

import { addons } from '@storybook/addons';
import { LIVE_EXAMPLES_ADDON_ID } from '@skbkontur/storybook-addon-live-examples';

addons.setConfig({
  [LIVE_EXAMPLES_ADDON_ID]: {
    scope: {
      MyComponent,
    },
  },
});
```

```tsx
<MyComponent>Now, you can use MyComponent in all examples</MyComponent>
```

#### - Setup scope inside monorepo

This is an example of how you can add all used components and helpers to the scope.

```tsx
// .storybook/scope.ts

import { ComponentType } from 'react';

import * as icons from 'some-icons-pack';
import * as knobs from '@storybook/addon-knobs';

// packages/{componentName}/index.ts
const req = require.context('../packages', true, /^\.\/(.*)\/index.ts$/);

const components = req.keys().reduce((acc: Record<string, ComponentType>, key) => {
  Object.entries(req(key)).forEach(([componentName, component]: [string, any]) => {
    acc[componentName] = component;
  });

  return acc;
}, {});

export default {
  ...components,
  ...icons,
  ...knobs,
};

// .storybook/manager.js

import scope from './scope';

addons.setConfig({
  [LIVE_EXAMPLES_ADDON_ID]: {
    scope,
  },
});
```
