Storytale

Storytale is a Gradle Plugin designed to help developers to show their composables and develop them isolated by generating a gallery of the project components. Check the examples and their generated web gallery here

Since Storytale is still in the early stages of development, the api is marked as unstable, but this section will also show you how to use Storytale to write code for your components, so let's get started! 🌟

All platforms

⚙️ Getting Started

1. Setup

Import Dependencies

using Version Catalog

libs.versions.toml

[versions]
storytale = "1.0"

[plugins]
storytale = { id = "org.jetbrains.compose.storytale", version.ref = "storytale" }

build.gradle.kts root level

plugins {
  alias(libs.plugins.storytale) apply false
}

build.gradle.kts app level

plugins {
  alias(libs.plugins.storytale)
}
repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

Note

Storytale has not yet released its first version on mavenCentral. If you want to try it out early, please refer to the Building and Contributing and try it in the examples module.

2. Create Sourcesets for Storytale on the target platform (for multi-platform projects)

Storytale can be used for Compose Multiplatform projects. To start using the Storytale API, you need to define a sourceset for the component you want to test (for example, it might only be used for Android/iOS platforms, or it could be common for all platforms).

In your app's 'src' folder, go to New -> Directory:

3. Usage

Now, your project structure will look like this:

└── src/
    ├── androidMain
    ├── commonMain
    ├── xxxxxStories/
    │   └── kotlin
    └── desktopMain

Let's try to write a simple function in commonMain:

commonMain/PrimaryButton.kt

@Composable
fun PrimaryButton(onClick: () -> Unit, enabled: Boolean = true) {
  Button(onClick = onClick, enabled = enabled) {
    Text("Click me!")
  }
}

commonStories/kotlin/PrimaryButton.story.kt

import org.jetbrains.compose.storytale.story

val `PrimaryButton default state` by story {
   val enabled by parameter(true)
   PrimaryButton(onClick = {}, enabled = enabled)
}

Next, let's run the desktopStoriesRun command, you can find it in the project/Storytale section on the right side of the Gradle panel.

If you can't find all Gradle tasks containing Storytale after syncing, check if this option is enabled:

settings->Experimental

Building and Contributing

Once the sync is successful, run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal.

At this point, if you see these Storytale Gradle tasks, it means you’ve successfully set up the project and can start contributing! :)

Before running XXXXStoriesRun, you need to run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal to deploy the latest changes if you've modified any part of the code (except for examples module)
