I have followed instructions here to get antd working fine with CRA. But while using it from storybook, I was getting an <

Answer 1

I'm currently using storybook with antd and i got it to play nice, by using this config in my webpack.config.js file in the .storybook folder:

const { injectBabelPlugin } = require('react-app-rewired');
const path = require("path");

module.exports = function override(config, env) {
config = injectBabelPlugin(
['import', { libraryName: 'antd', libraryDirectory: 'es', style: 'css' }],
config,
);



config.module.rules.push({
  test: /\.css$/,
  loaders: ["style-loader", "css-loader", ],
  include: path.resolve(__dirname, "../")
  })


return config;
};

If you are using AntD Advanced-Guides for React and storybook v5 create .storybook/webpack.config.js with the following:

const path = require('path');

module.exports = async ({ config, mode }) => {

  config.module.rules.push({
      loader: 'babel-loader',
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
      options: {
          presets: ['@babel/react'],
          plugins: [
              ['import', {
                libraryName: 'antd',
                libraryDirectory: 'es',
                style: true
              }]
          ]
      },
  });

  config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.less$/,
      loaders: [
          'style-loader',
          'css-loader',
          {
              loader: 'less-loader',
              options: {
                  modifyVars: {'@primary-color': '#f00'},
                  javascriptEnabled: true
              }
          }
      ],
      include: [
        path.resolve(__dirname, '../src'),
        /[\\/]node_modules[\\/].*antd/
      ]
  });

  return config;
};

Then you can use import { Button } from 'antd' to import antd components.

Using Storybook 4, you can create a webpack.config.js file in the .storybook directory with the following configuration:

const path = require("path");

module.exports = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                loader: 'babel-loader',
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                test: /\.js$/,
                options: {
                    presets: ["@babel/react"],
                    plugins: [
                        ['import', {libraryName: "antd", style: true}]
                    ]
                },
            },
            {
                test: /\.less$/,
                loaders: [
                    "style-loader",
                    "css-loader",
                    {
                        loader: "less-loader",

                        options: {
                            modifyVars: {"@primary-color": "#d8df19"},
                            javascriptEnabled: true
                        }
                    }
                ],
                include: path.resolve(__dirname, "../")
            }
        ]
    }
};

Note that the above snippet includes a style overwriting of the primary button color in antd. I figured, you might want to eventually edit the default theme so you can remove that line in case you do not intend to do so.

You can now import the Button component in Storybook using:

import {Button} from "antd";

without having to also import the style file.
