Storytale is a Gradle Plugin designed to help developers to show their composables and develop them isolated by generating a gallery of the project components. Check the examples and their generated web gallery here

Since Storytale is still in the early stages of development, the api is marked as unstable, but this section will also show you how to use Storytale to write code for your components, so let's get started! 🌟

All platforms

⚙️ Getting Started

1. Setup

Import Dependencies

using Version Catalog > libs.versions.toml toml [versions] storytale = "0.0.1+dev5" [plugins] storytale = { id = "org.jetbrains.compose.storytale", version.ref = "storytale" } For the latest version check out the Releases page > build.gradle.kts root level kotlin plugins { alias(libs.plugins.storytale) apply false }

build.gradle.kts app level

plugins {
  alias(libs.plugins.storytale)
}

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  maven("https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev")
}

[!NOTE]
Storytale has not yet released its first version on mavenCentral. Currently, we publish dev builds to maven("https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev"), so it's required to add this repository as shown above.

2. Create Sourcesets for Storytale on the target platform (for multi-platform projects)

Storytale can be used for Compose Multiplatform projects. To start using the Storytale API, you need to define a sourceset for the component you want to test (for example, it might only be used for Android/iOS platforms, or it could be common for all platforms).

In your app's 'src' folder, go to New -> Directory:

3. Usage

Now, your project structure will look like this:

└── src/
    ├── androidMain
    ├── commonMain
    ├── xxxxxStories/
    │   └── kotlin
    └── desktopMain

Let's try to write a simple function in commonMain:

commonMain/PrimaryButton.kt

@Composable
fun PrimaryButton(onClick: () -> Unit, enabled: Boolean = true) {
  Button(onClick = onClick, enabled = enabled) {
    Text("Click me!")
  }
}

commonStories/kotlin/PrimaryButton.story.kt

import org.jetbrains.compose.storytale.story

val `PrimaryButton default state` by story {
   val enabled by parameter(true)
   PrimaryButton(onClick = {}, enabled = enabled)
}

Next, let's run the desktopStoriesRun command, you can find it in the project/Storytale section on the right side of the Gradle panel.

If you can't find all Gradle tasks containing Storytale after syncing, check if this option is enabled:

settings->Experimental

Building and Contributing

Once the sync is successful, run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal.

At this point, if you see these Storytale Gradle tasks, it means you’ve successfully set up the project and can start contributing! :)

Before running XXXXStoriesRun, you need to run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal to deploy the latest changes if you've modified any part of the code (except for examples module)

Includes the entry point of the Storytale compiler plugin and its related features.

The gallery represents the final, fully functional multi-platform application that is produced by Storytale.

gradle-plugin

All aspects related to building Storytale, including various Gradle tasks, generating Storytale apps for different platforms, and so on.
