Does Storybook Integrate With Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:43 am

Figma is a vector drawing and animation software with capabilities for designing user interfaces, wireframing, and prototyping. It has become a popular tool for web and app designers.

Storybook is a tool for developing UI components in isolation, which means it can be used with Figma. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to integrate Storybook with Figma.

Figma has a plugin called “Storybook” that allows you to develop UI components in isolation. This means that you can use Figma to design your UI components and then use Storybook to test them out.

To get started, you’ll need to install the “Storybook” plugin in Figma. Once you’ve done that, you can create a new “story” in your project. To do this, click on the “Create” button in the upper-left corner of the screen and select “New story.”

Give your story a name and then click on the “Create story” button.

PRO TIP: It is important to note that Storybook does not integrate with Figma. While Figma is a great tool for design, it is not meant to be used in conjunction with Storybook. Storybook is its own tool and should be used as such.

Once you’ve created your story, you can add UI components to it. To do this, click on the “Add component” button in the upper-right corner of the screen and select the UI component that you want to add.

Once you’ve added your UI component, you can use Figma’s design tools to style it. To do this, click on the “Style” tab in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Once you’re happy with your component’s styling, you can test it out by clicking on the “Preview” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will open up your story in a new window so that you can interact with it.

You can also share your story with others by clicking on the “Share” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will generate a link that you can send to anyone who wants to view your story.

So does Storybook integrate with Figma? Yes! The two tools work well together and allow you to develop UI components in isolation and then test them out using Figma’s design tools and preview window.
