I've been working for a while on getting React Native Web to work on Storybook with Vite.

Today I want to share a Vite Plugin to make it easier to run React Native Web. Also a bit about how it came about.

This is for those trying to do something a bit outside the box 😄

Trying out something new here to start the app with storybook open when you run with storybook enabled

Working on a new version of the expo template that is based on expo-router.

Try it out with this command

npx create-expo-app --template expo-template-storybook@next ExpoRouterStorybook

Quick setup guide for react native storybook + expo router
June 3, 2025 at 12:27 PM
In the v9 rc I've introduced a new *experimental* LiteUI that has minimal dependencies (Also you can define your own custom ui).

This makes the minimal setup just the storybook dependencies. You then just sacrifice some UX. I had to write raw 'Animated' api animations for this😄

Heres a cool thing you can do with expo router protected routes outside of auth.

Basically simpler way to block off a storybook screen when not in dev or whatever logic for when it should show.

also combine this with expo-dev-menu for easy swapping back/forth

I've had this example of storybook in expo router navigating with search params. yesterday I realised that I could just build it into Storybook without the router using the Linking api.

[scheme]://[url]?STORYBOOK_STORY_ID=[story_id]

Out in 8.6.0-alpha.0
Feedback welcomed 🙏

in 8.5.5-alpha.4 now works from search

Any react native storybook users (on v8+) please give this version a test for me

8.5.5-alpha.3

I'm adding scroll to selected story when opening the story list and would appreciate some user testing.

Also includes changes to improve controls compatibility with web.

When is Europe going to get access to anything new in ai????

Whats actually stopping this from launching? Its probably regulation but what exactly.

anyone out there had success getting react-native-reanimated working with vite? I'm running into this error when doing a build (in dev it works fine).

Error comes from _updatePropsJS in: /ReanimatedModule/js-reanimated/index.ts

Seems like maybe the animateable ref is null
