State of Storybook 7
summary
Storybook 7 lands after 2.5 years with concrete changes: a refreshed UI, CSF3 component format for framework-agnostic stories, built-in interaction testing via play functions that run in the browser, and an automated test-runner with Playwright that converts stories into Jest tests and runs cross‑browser in CI. MDX2 and auto-generated docs create live prop tables and code snippets, Vite/Next.js integrations simplify setup, Chromatic visual diffs pinpoints regressions, and the upgrade process runs mostly automatically.
