This Addon lets you switch the data-theme attribute in your Storybook, by selecting a defined theme from a toolbar dropdown and adding the selected theme to the data-theme attribute of storybooks iframe html element.

This comes in handy if you want to test your components with different themes.

Compatibility

This addon is compatible with storybook version ^8.3.x.

NOTE: For storybook versions below 8.3.x use storybook-addon-data-theme-switcher@0.4.2. Find more information here.

Installation

npm install storybook-addon-data-theme-switcher --save-dev

Getting Started

Then activate the addon by adding it to the storybook main.js file (located in the Storybook config directory):

module.exports = {
  addons: [
    // other addons here
    "storybook-addon-data-theme-switcher",
  ],
};

Configuration

The addon makes use of storybooks initialGlobals to define and load the themes.

To define a selection of themes alongside other configuration options, you can add the following to your global storybook configuration file preview.js:

import type { ThemeConfig } from "storybook-addon-data-theme-switcher";

export const initialGlobals = {
  dataThemes: {
    list: [
      { name: "Rainforest", dataTheme: "rainforest", color: "#00755e" },
      { name: "Candy", dataTheme: "candy", color: "#ffb7d5" },
      { name: "Rose", dataTheme: "rose", color: "#ff007f" },
    ],
    dataAttribute: "data-theme",            // optional (default: "data-theme")
    clearable: true,                        // optional (default: true)
    toolbar: {
      title: "Change data-theme attribute", // optional
      icon: "PaintBrushIcon",               // optional
    },
  } satisfies ThemeConfig,
};

To set a default data-theme value, which will be used in the initial load of the storybook, you can add the following to your preview.js file:

export const initialGlobals = {
  dataTheme: "rainforest",
  dataThemes: {
    ...
  },
};

Note: Make sure to match the dataTheme default value with one of the defined themes in the list array.
