Support storybook 7

[IanVS]

Hi, I see that these addons are relying on storybook packages with ^6.3.6. Maybe you could release a pre-release (alpha or beta) version that uses storybook 7?

Thanks for the suggestion, @IanVS. I'll find some time to do that.

@tyom Hi! Storybook released v7.0

[tyom]

Cheers for the heads-up, @batazor. I had some issues last time I looked into it and parked it. I'll take a look again soon.

There's a bit of a guide here if that helps: https://chromatic-ui.notion.site/Addon-migration-for-Storybook-7-002f2f627c1d470298ca94894ab8a040

FWIW, I've noticed that with Storybook ^7:

withReactContext decorator HOC will fail ❌ with: Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component.

I thought the below might work...

Setting the context via parameters, i.e.

someComponent.parameters = {
  reactContext: {
    initialState: {
      defaultValue: true,
    },
    reducer: (state, action) => ({ ...state, action })
  }
};

But this seems to get ignored.

I got around the current Storybook 7 compatibility issue by wrapping my own Story in a decorator in storybook's preview.js

// preview.js
export const decorators = [
  mswDecorator, // you might not need this bit
  (Story) => (
    <AppProvider>
      <Story />
    </AppProvider>
  ),
];

Then made a wrapper around my component to just update the state context for Storybook preview purposes:

// MyComponent.story.tsx
export const MyComponentStoryWrapper: FC = () => {
  const dispatch = useContext(AppDispatchContext);

  const handleToggleModal = () => {
    dispatch(setModal(myModalData));
  };

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={handleToggleModal}>Toggle modal</button>
      <ModalHub /> /** <-- My actual component to test/view in Storybook */
    </>
  );
};

Obviously not as tidy as the solution this Storybook Addon would provide, but seems to work in the interim.

Any progress on this front?

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've started the process but came across many issues. I need to set aside some time to look into it properly. I hope I can make some progress soon.

hi, any update about this?

[tyom]

I have neglected this. But I see there is interest by people. I'm going to try to get it done sooner, even though I don't really use it at the moment.

The changes involved going up two versions of Storybook and other dependencies are substantial and I think I'm going to rewrite it.

Thanks for your interest.

Hello. I have updated this package. I rewrote it to be compatible with Storybook 8 and added more features, like support for args, multiple contexts etc. See more details in this comment.
