# story2sketch 💎
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/story2sketch) [](https://prettier.io)
Convert [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org) stories into [Sketch](https://www.sketchapp.com) symbols.
> Uses the amazing [`html-sketchapp`](https://github.com/html-sketchapp/html-sketchapp). Only supports web.
## Quickstart
Firstly, get [Sketch](https://sketchapp.com) and [npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). Then install [`asketch2sketch.sketchplugin`](https://github.com/html-sketchapp/html-sketchapp/releases/download/v4.4.1/asketch2sketch-4-4-1.sketchplugin.zip) into Sketch:
Install `story2sketch`:
```sh
npm i story2sketch -g
```
Run `story2sketch`, pointing towards a Storybook iframe URL. You can find an existing iframe URL in Storybook by clicking 'Open canvas in new tab':
See [configuration](#configuration) for more options, or if you have a lot of stories.
```sh
story2sketch --url https://localhost:9001/iframe.html --output stories.asketch.json
```
Import the generated file into Sketch via `Plugins > From *Almost* Sketch to Sketch` in Sketch menu bar.
Success!
### Storybook 3.x
If you're using Storybook 3.3 or above (but not Storybook 4 or above), you'll want to [take full control of your Storybook webpack.config.js](https://storybook.js.org/configurations/custom-webpack-config/#full-control-mode) if you haven't already done so, adding:
```js
module.exports = (storybookBaseConfig, configType) => {
const newConfig = {
...storybookBaseConfig
};
// Add this:
// Export bundles as libraries so we can access them on page scope.
newConfig.output.library = "[name]";
return newConfig;
};
```
Manually export the `getStorybook` function in your `./config/storybook/config.js` file:
```js
import { getStorybook } from "@storybook/react";
...
export { getStorybook }
```
Run story2sketch:
```sh
story2sketch --url https://localhost:9001/iframe.html --output stories.asketch.json
```
## Why?
As stated by [`react-sketchapp`](https://github.com/airbnb/react-sketchapp), it's complicated to manage assets in a design system. Many teams building design systems or component libraries already produce Sketch files for distributing designs and use [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org) to prototype and present the developed components. It can become difficult to keep designs up to date with the latest components, with designers ever playing catchup. `story2sketch` generates a Sketch file from your components via Storybook, so your Sketch designs always stay up to date.
## Configuration
You can configure `story2sketch` using [the API](#api) via the CLI, configuring your `package.json` or adding a `story2sketch.config.js` file.
### CLI
Simply call `story2sketch` with options from the [API](#api).
```sh
$ story2sketch --stories all --output dist/great-ui.asketch.json
```
### package.json
Add the following to your package.json:
```json
{
"story2sketch": {
"stories": "all",
"output": "dist/great-ui.asketch.json"
}
}
```
### story2sketch.config.js
Create a file called `story2sketch.config.js` on the root of your project:
```js
module.exports = {
output: "dist/great-ui.asketch.json",
stories: "all"
};
```
## API
| Parameter | Explanation | Input Type | Default |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| output | Specifies the filename for the generated asketch.json file or a folder when outputBy === 'kind'. | string | `"dist/stories.asketch.json"` |
| input | The location of Storybook's generated iframe.html. Use this over `url` if possible for performance. | string | `"dist/iframe.html"` |
| url | Storybook iframe URL. Will end in `iframe.html`. Prefer `input` for performance if possible. | string | `"http://localhost:9001/iframe.html"` |
| stories | Stories to extract from Storybook. You should probably override the default. | object/string | `"all"` |
| concurrency | Number of headless Chrome tabs to run in parallel. Defaults to number of threads available on your machine. | integer | dynamic |
| symbolGutter | Gutter to place between symbols in Sketch. | integer | `100` |
| viewports | Viewport configuration. Will be arranged left-to-right by width. Try to avoid changing the key, as this is used to identify the symbol. | object | Mobile viewport (320px wide) and desktop viewport (1920px wide). See example below. |
| querySelector | Query selector to select your node on each page. Uses `document.querySelectorAll`. | string | `"#root"` |
| verbose | Verbose logging output. | boolean | `false` |
| fixPseudo | Attempt to insert real elements in place of pseudo-elements | boolean | `false` |
| puppeteerOptions | Options to be passed directly to `puppeteer.launch`. See [puppeteer docs](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#puppeteerlaunchoptions) for usage. | object | `{}` |
| removePreviewMargin | Remove preview margin from the iframe body. | boolean | `true` |
| layoutBy | Group symbols in the sketch output by the "kind" or "group" key | "kind" \| "group" | null |
| outputBy | Write multiple sketch files by "kind" or the "group" key | "kind" \| "group" | null |
## Example configurations
### Basic
Automatically detect the stories, outputting two viewports for each story in a single Sketch file as symbols.
```js
module.exports = {
output: "dist/great-ui.asketch.json",
input: "dist/iframe.html", // Same as default
pageTitle: "great-ui"
};
```
### Manual stories
Manually define stories to have granular control over what stories are output. This might help if you're getting empty output, since some stories may break story2sketch.
```js
module.exports = {
stories: [
{
kind: "Buttons/Button",
stories: [
{
name: "Button"
}
]
},
{
kind: "Buttons/ButtonGroup",
stories: [
{
name: "Default",
displayName: "Horizontal"
},
{
name: "Vertical"
}
]
},
{
kind: "Table",
stories: [
{
name: "Table"
}
]
}
]
};
```
### Custom viewports
Output symbols based on custom viewports:
```js
module.exports = {
viewports: {
narrow: {
width: 320,
height: 1200,
symbolPrefix: "Mobile/"
},
standard: {
width: 1920,
height: 1200,
symbolPrefix: "Desktop/"
}
}
};
```
### Split output into multiple files based on kind
Outputs one file for each Storybook "kind". Useful if managing large component libraries, allowing you to distribute smaller files.
```js
module.exports = {
output: "dist", // Define output directory. File names are defined by "kind"
outputBy: "kind" // Also supports "group", see below.
};
```
### Layout based on kind
Renders the sketch layout by kind, but keeps them in one file.
```js
module.exports = {
layoutBy: "kind" // Also supports "group", see below.
};
```
### Split output into multiple files based on custom group
This example outputs two files based on a custom grouping: `dist/Buttons.asketch.json` and `dist/Data.asketch.json`.
```js
module.exports = {
output: "dist",
outputBy: "group",
stories: [
{
group: "Buttons",
kind: "Buttons/Button",
stories: [
{
name: "Button"
}
]
},
{
group: "Buttons",
kind: "Buttons/ButtonGroup",
stories: [
{
name: "Default",
displayName: "Horizontal"
},
{
name: "Vertical"
}
]
},
{
group: "Data",
kind: "Table",
stories: [
{
name: "Table"
}
]
}
]
};
```
## Continuous Integration
If you want `story2sketch` to run in a CI environment you might have to add the following configuration to puppeteer in your `story2sketch.config.js`.
```js
module.exports = {
puppeteerOptions: {
args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']
},
...
};
```
## Questions
### Why does my stuff look bad?
If your stuff looks bad, either it's not supported by [`html-sketchapp`](https://github.com/html-sketchapp/html-sketchapp) yet (see [support here](https://github.com/html-sketchapp/html-sketchapp/wiki/What's-supported%3F)), or you need to [configure story2sketch](#configuration).
### Why don't you use `react-sketchapp` instead of `html-sketchapp`?
[`react-sketchapp`](https://github.com/airbnb/react-sketchapp) only supports React Native, or forces you to use React Native component naming conventions. [`html-sketchapp`](https://github.com/html-sketchapp/html-sketchapp) supports good ol' fashioned HTML, and doesn't care what web framework you're using.
### Can I use this on anything other than Storybook?
Not yet, but we have plans to add support for multiple and custom adaptors.
