Request: First-Class Storybook Integration

[Undistraction]

Summary

It is currently pretty painful to integrate Storybook with Gatsby. I know there is some discussion here and there is a great starter here, but imho, storybook should be something that works out the box (or as close to it as possible). This could be in the form of an official plugin, but I personally think this should be fully integrated so users are provided out-of-the-box with:

• Site
• Testing
• Styleguide

👍 This would be great, but I think it should be provided as an official plugin rather than baked in. It's a rather opinionated feature, when there are other component library helpers out there that people might prefer to use.

EDIT: Just looked into that starter, looks like the kind of rigmarole you have to setup for hacking around Gatsby wouldn't be doable as a plugin. So yep would be awesome to have some kind of out-of-the-box support for this. Looks like Storybook is working on a concept of presets, if this becomes a thing adding a Gatsby one would be a no-brainer

[Undistraction]

@seaneking Yes. I think ideally it would be a plugin, but it goes too deep (at least with the current API) for that to be viable.

I'm working on a new project at the moment with Gatsby and Styled Components hooked up to Storybook and backed by Jest tests and it really feels like its the promised land to me. We are going to take a look at integrating Chromatic which I think will be the icing on the cake.

Would be great to keep this open — the Gatsby Babel preset helped, but there's still a fair few hacky workarounds needed to get Storybook working, would be great to see if we can get tighter integration out of the box
