Storybook Addon RTL 
Storybook Addon RTL allows you to switch to right-to-left flow in your stories in Storybook.
This addon has been tested with Storybook for React, Vue and Angular. It should also work in other frameworks.
This is a permanent fork of unindented/storybook-addon-rtl, which is now archived. Thanks for
unindentedfor the original code!
Getting Started
npm i --save-dev storybook-addon-rtlAdd the addon to the addons array in .storybook/main.js
module.exports = {
/// other storybook configuration
addons: [
// other addons here
"storybook-addon-rtl",
],
};Then write your stories normally:
import React from 'react'
import MyComponent from './MyComponent'
export default {
title: 'My Component',
component: MyComponent
};
export const default = {};
export const rtlParameter = {
// Optionally include direction as story parameter
// Note: usually, globals should not be set at the story level because this disables the toolbar toggle button.
globals: {
addonRtl: 'rtl'
},
}Advanced
Query Params
You can set the direction using query params in the URL. This is useful for things like e2e tests.
Just add &globals=addonRtl:rtl or &globals=addonRtl:ltr to the end of the URL:
storybook.example.com/?path=/story/button--standard&globals=addonRtl:rtl
Globals API
This addon uses the Storybook Globals API to set the direction. This allows anyone to write custom code that can set or react to changes in the direction. This is especially useful when working with some libraries that need to know about the current direction. See ./src/stories/CustomDecorator.stories.tsx for an example.
