The problem

You ❤️Helix UI webcomponents library and want to use it in your React application. You then realized React support for webcomponents is underwelming and requires you to write React compatibility wrappers for each web component that uses events.

📚 Setting up a Local Dev Environment

Storybook is an open source tool for developing UI components in isolation for React, Vue, and Angular. You can use this as a playground for all our components.

1. Install Dependencies

yarn install	

2. Run Storybook

npm start	

The script should automatically open Storybook in your browser, but you can always navigate to http://localhost:6006/?path=/story
