```

## Getting Started

Install Storybook Deployer with:

```
npm i @storybook/storybook-deployer --save-dev
```

Then add a NPM script like this for github page:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "deploy-storybook": "storybook-to-ghpages"
  }
}
```

or like this for AWS S3:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "deploy-storybook": "storybook-to-aws-s3"
  }
}
```

Then you can run `npm run deploy-storybook` to deploy the Storybook.

Alternatively, you can execute Storybook Deployer directly using `npx`

```sh
npx -p @storybook/storybook-deployer storybook-to-ghpages
npx -p @storybook/storybook-deployer storybook-to-aws-s3
```

### Custom Build Configuration

If you customize the build configuration with some additional params (like static file directory), then you need to expose another NPM script like this:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build-storybook": "build-storybook -s public"
  }
}
```

### Configure Build Directory

If you need to configure the output directory you can supply the `out` flag.

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --out=.out
```

### Skip Build Step

If you have previously built your storybook output (through a different CI step, etc) and just need to publish it, specify the directory like this:

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --existing-output-dir=.out
```

### Skip Deploy Step

if you want to see how everything build without pushing to a remote, use the `--dry-run` flag.

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --dry-run
```

### Deploy a Monorepo

If you manage a monorepo with multiple storybooks you can pass the `packages` flag to `deploy-storybook` to scan a directory for `package.json`s.

The following command will search the `packages` directory for packages. It will also generate a default `index.html` that links to all of the loaded storybooks.

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --packages packages
```

### Customize Monorepo `index.html`

To customize the monorepo `index.html` you can pass the `monorepo-index-generator` flag to `deploy-storybook`. This file should export a function that receive the following arguments and returns the html for the page.

- an array of all the `package.json` data from the loaded storybooks as the first argument
- the output directory

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --monorepo-index-generator my-custom-generator.js
```

### Deploying Storybook as part of a CI service

To deploy Storybook as part of a CI step, pass the `ci` flag to `npm run deploy-storybook`.

If the `CI` environment variable is set then this mode will be assumed, therefore no need to specify the `ci` flag.

Because pushing to GitHub as part of a CI step requires a [personal access token](https://github.com/blog/1509-personal-api-tokens), Storybook uses the `GH_TOKEN` environment variable, by default, to authenticate GitHub pushes.

This environment variable name can be configured via the `host-token-env-variable` flag.

For example, if your access token is stored in the `GH_TOKEN` environment variable

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --ci
```

Or if your access token is stored in the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --ci --host-token-env-variable=GITHUB_TOKEN
```

### Deploying Storybook to GitHub Pages as part of a GitHub Action

If you are deploying Storybook to GitHub Pages from a repository belonging to an organization account on GitHub, you may need to specify a ```${{ github.actor }}``` in addition to the ```${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}``` for your build step to be able to authenticate properly.

For instance:
```
- name: Deploy storybook to GitHub Pages
  run: npm run deploy-storybook -- --ci
  env:
    GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.actor }}:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```

### Custom deploy configuration

If you want to customize Git username, email or commit message, add this to `package.json`:

```json
"storybook-deployer": {
  "gitUsername": "Custom Username",
  "gitEmail": "custom@email.com",
  "commitMessage": "Deploy Storybook [skip ci]"
}
```

It will override the default configuration:

```json
"storybook-deployer": {
  "gitUsername": "GH Pages Bot",
  "gitEmail": "hello@ghbot.com",
  "commitMessage": "Deploy Storybook to GitHub Pages"
}
```

To deploy Storybook to a remote other than `origin`, pass a `--remote` flag to `npm run deploy-storybook`.
For example, to deploy to your `upstream` remote:

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --remote=upstream
```

Or, to specify a target branch and serve your storybook with rawgit instead of gh-pages:

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --branch=feature-branch
```

Or, to specify a source branch other than `master`, pass a `--source-branch` flag to `npm run deploy-storybook`:

```sh
npm run deploy-storybook -- --source-branch=release
```

#### Custom deploy configuration for S3

For AWS S3 deployment you must have [awscli](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html) installed.

You must specify a bucket path with `bucket-path` option: `my-bucket-name/path/to/destination-folder-in-bucket` and have the rights to write to this bucket.

You can change the aws profile used to run the command with the `aws-profile` option.

```sh
storybook-to-aws-s3 --bucket-path=my-bucket-name/path/to/destination-folder-in-bucket --aws-profile=myprofile
```

You can exclude the aws profile by setting this flag to "NONE":

```sh
storybook-to-aws-s3 --bucket-path=my-bucket-name/path/to/destination-folder-in-bucket --aws-profile=NONE
```

You can provide arbitrary S3 sync options via the `--s3-sync-options` flag:

```sh
storybook-to-aws-s3 --bucket-path=bucket-name/bucket-path --s3-sync-options=--acl=public-read
storybook-to-aws-s3 --bucket-path=bucket-name/bucket-path --s3-sync-options="--acl=public-read --quiet"
```
