xstate as a storybook addon?

[mehdi-cit]

Hello folks,
Was wondering if any here has some experience with storybook ? I'm just looking at it and I read it has a "plugin facility". It seems one can "easily" add such plugins and augment/improve the experience.

Would it possible or even desirable to have an extra tab in storybook for instance to display the state machine chart? Maybe clicking on a state makes the machine transition to that state?
Any thoughts? Especially those of you who have some experience with storybook (I don't, just started playing with it few minutes ago). Would something like the above be really useful?

That would be neat! I don't have time to work on that but I can see that being really useful.

I pulled together a small proof of concept storybook add-on for xstate and decided to make it public to find contributors and people who are interested in sharing their ideas and knowledge to (hopefully) make this project a valuable addition in the xstate ecosytem.

You can find the project here:

Please be aware that this project is at the very beginning but I plan to work on it on a regular schedule in my free time.

So it begins again! just for reference... as I start to implement very interested in storybook functionality for previewing based on current state

Just found this issue when looking through the v5 discussion. I'm open to moving my package into @xstate instead of being separate.
