Testing React Storybook Components with Applitools
Running the Example Project
- Clone or download the repository and navigate to that folder
git clone https://github.com/applitools/tutorial-storybook-react.git
cd tutorial-storybook-react
Note: you can alternatively download the project as a Zip file and extract it
- Install the dependencies
npm install
- Run the example test
APPLITOOLS_API_KEY="[Your API Key]" npm test
This will first set your APPLITOOLS_API_KEY into the node process then run npm test.
You can alternatively run npx eyes-storybook.
npx comes as part of Node.js installation. It automatically runs the eyes-storybook executable.

Applitools Eyes Storybook SDK
How it works
The Applitools Eyes Storybook SDK does not require you to change any code! You simply need to add Applitools SDK as a dependency and run the CLI command!
Our SDK simply opens up different stories from your project and upload the DOM to our Visual grid servers. It uploads multiple DOMs concurrently. The visual grid receives these DOMs and renders them in parallel using real browsers. Then it take pictures of each stories. And finally, these pictures are then sent to our AI servers to check for differences.
The picture below shows how it works
