Compatibility with react-scripts@1.0.1 (Create React App)

[gaearon]

We recently released 1.0 of react-scripts:
https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2017/05/18/whats-new-in-create-react-app.html

It includes many changes, and people have been reporting that it’s incompatible with React Storybook as it exists now: facebook/create-react-app#2225.

I imagine there's both some sort of dependency bugs in npm, and just regular incompatibilities (e.g. our Babel preset has updated and we need other tools to catch up with supporting dynamic import()).

For this reason, I have removed React Storybook integration from our docs: facebook/create-react-app#2252. I would be happy to add it back once it is compatible out of the box again. Thanks!

Congrats on the release of the 1.0.0.

We'll be taking a look at it asap, thanks for reporting!

We will create a PR when compatible, which would be the 3.0.0 release.

Thanks!

Took a look and concluded that Storybook 3.0.0-alpha.1 IS compatible with react-scripts 1.0.1!

Everything works great, nice work on react-script, it's looking better and better every release.

I don't want to wait too long re-adding storybook to create-react-app, but I'm conflicted on adding it whilst we're in alpha...

Pretty cool. Does dynamic import work too?

[ndelangen]

We use webpack 2, I don't see why not. Will check in the morning 😴

[gaearon]

Ah, I forgot it's native there 😄

We also changed how we handle files: everything gets file-loader by default unless it's one of few whitelisted extensions which are handled by url-loader.

[ndelangen]

We will have to keep a watch out for the 2 webpack configs acting in very different ways. But we don't have to mimic CRA's webpack config, consumers can change theirs and thus change it to be compatible with any edge-case.

I'm going to mark this issue as resolved, and set a reminder to create a PR when we're out of alpha.

[gaearon]

Do consumers have to create config for CRA integration? I thought it used to work without a config.

@gaearon getstorybook works out of the box with zero config, but consumers can override the defaults if they want to.

Might related to #1027

But, it doesn't compatible with react-scripts@^1 when it comes to CSS. If you have a CSS files that import other CSS files, it breaks with this error:

ERROR in ./~/css-loader?{"importLoaders":1}!./~/postcss-loader/lib?{"plugins":[null]}!./src/stories/blah.css
Module build failed: TypeError: Cannot read property 'postcss' of null

Code example:

/* a.css */
@import "./b.css";

/* b.css */

:root {
  /* ... */
}

// Story file
import "./a.css";

@oriSomething are you using the alpha? if so, would you mind opening another issue for this problem?

[ndelangen]

This has been fixed in alpha.3

Storybook is compatible with CRA without configuration out of the box, and we absolutely intend to keep it that way. Sorry if my comment before kinda suggested otherwise @gaearon

I've checked, and the bug is being fixed
