Lesson 20 / 25
Best Practices and Workflow
Adopt component-driven development: build bottom-up, bridge design and engineering, and keep stories organized and current.
Component-driven development
Build your application from the bottom up, starting with isolated components documented in Storybook. This ensures reusability, testability, and maintainability.
Collaboration workflow
Use Storybook as a bridge between designers and developers. Link Figma designs to stories, review changes visually, and use Chromatic for design approval workflows.
Maintenance and scaling
As your Storybook grows, organize stories by feature, use consistent naming conventions, automate visual testing, and include accessibility checks in every story.
Continuous improvement
Regularly review your stories, remove outdated ones, and update documentation as your design system evolves.
