Does it work with Storybook?

[gabimoncha]

Would be really nice to know if this will work with Storybook in the future. Do you have it on the roadmap?

Hey @gabrielmoncea! That's a great idea and something I would like to explore once we get to v1 👍

[retyui]

@gabimoncha you can use Loki that especially focused for Storybook (see : "React Native example")

[gabimoncha]

Thank you @retyui. I know about Loki, but would prefer less tools for specific cases in this ecosystem. I think this would a great tool to be also integrate with Storybook. WDYT @dannyhw?

I've been thinking about it a bit back and forth because chromatic proved that theres value in automatically taking snapshots of every story. However I'm not sure how much work would be involved, happy to explore it though. Might need a tutorial on owl first though 😛.

Happy to do what I can to facilitate the use of owl with storybook if there are specific roadblocks too.

[dannyhw]

in theory it should be possible for it work already, I think it's a case of setting up an example project with it working to see if storybook is missing some feature to facilitate things.

@dannyhw did you have any chance with running RN Owl on all stories?

[dannyhw]

@sregg unfortunately not, been focused on 6.5 support and day job stuff. Though its still on my mind, eventually I want to make an example and write about it.

@dannyhw @manosim Curious if there is still interest in integrating RN Owl w/ Expo Storybook?

[dannyhw]

@Gome510 I tried doing some of it myself but had trouble with the owl setup on expo, I found it easier to create something with detox though honestly that wasn't that straightforward to configure either. I've made a few examples with a custom solution (just system commands) and also one with detox but I couldn't get owl working at the time.
