Use outside an existing project?

aadrian commented 2 months ago

Hi,

Can Ladle be used outside of an existing project easily? If yes, are there any links/docs how to achieve this? ( I could not find any :( ).

In many situations, it is not desired/allowed that the storybooks are part of the repo/project itself, but need to be separated:

components are distributed across several GIT projects, but only one "storybook" Test Project/deployment is required.
many projects are done by other teams than those doing the storybooks, and even there's mostly read-only access to the project with components being tested.
besides read-only repos, the dependencies/changes introduced by storybooks are not allowed to be committed in the same GIT repository.

Thank you!

not really, we are probably limited by vite needing to have access to single project's node_modules to resolve all dependencies

@tajo since Vite would have access to the components sources, it also has access to the "package.json" . Wouldn't that be enough?
