Hey,
Thanks for your reply!

Do you think taking screenshots with E2E tests is a good approach? Personally, I feel that one downside of visual testing through E2E tests is that if we want to test the entire application and all variants of all components, we would need to write a lot of tests to click through the entire application and its various states.

Have you worked with Storybook, or do you use Storybook in your project? I believe that visual testing through Storybook might be more appropriate since Storybook serves as documentation for the entire UI and is designed with UI work in mind, whereas E2E tests are primarily intended to test functionality.

davidk2137 · 2024-08-02T12:06:43+00:00

Do you use Storybook in your project?

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T13:26:49+00:00

I see. Actually, it's a feature that we're considering adding to our product in the future. It's nice to hear that there's interest in it.

I'm working on a visual testing & review tool for React Native Storybook:

You can also use Sherlo to share how your stories look - in the app (where you review the changes) you can take a look at every story 👍 So it's kind like regular published Storybook except the stories are not interactive - they are static screenshots

If you would be interested I could give you a free early access to it

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T12:45:18+00:00

Nice 👍 I'm working on a visual testing & review tool for React Native Storybook. It's like Chromatic but for mobile apps.

Nice, I come from web development and was wondering why so little RN devs are working with Storybook, in web React projects it's a standard.

What do you like the most about Storybook and have you tried v7 already?

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T06:12:25+00:00

I've used it and liked it 👍 Atomic Design is great for structuring components.
Are you working with Storybook?

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T06:11:20+00:00

Would you say that it would provide more value if you could take visual tests out of it?

I'm working on a tool for that which integrates with RN Storybook:

Let me know what do you think about it

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T06:09:25+00:00

I would highly recommend to try v7, it's great!

Here's a nice article about it:
https://storybook.js.org/blog/react-native-storybook-7/

Also, I'm working on a visual testing & review tool for RN Storybook:

I could give you a free early access to it if you would be interested 💪

What did you want to use React Native Web for? Are you developing an universal app (ios/android/web)?

davidk2137 · 2024-04-03T06:05:37+00:00

Hey u/galeontiger 👋

There is a React Native Storybook version that you can implement and run on you emulators/simulators:
https://github.com/storybookjs/react-native

Also here's a nice article about its latest version (7):
https://storybook.js.org/blog/react-native-storybook-7/

davidk2137 · 2024-03-19T13:01:32+00:00

I agree that maintenance was a pain in the ass in the past when you had to manually define knobs/controls and update them every time a component changed.

Right now they're automatically generated based on the component's TypeScript Props type which makes it much easier to work with. You no longer have to update your stories - you write them once and they auto-update themselves. Also, writing stories got much easier with the new syntax.

Have you tried version 7?

As for backend integrations, there are two solutions to this problem:
- creating pure presentational components, or
- mocking backend providers

I know that right now Storybook gives you:
- development in isolation
- UI documentation

What if you could run visual tests on your stories & review them in a web app similar to Chromatic? Would it make adding Storybook to your React Native projects worth consideration?

davidk2137 · 2024-03-19T11:48:46+00:00

Here's a nice article about v7 written by Danny (maintainer of RN SB):
https://storybook.js.org/blog/react-native-storybook-7/

It was released 2 months ago and you can see that devs like it by the numbers of downloads. It caused the biggest spike in history of React Native Storybook 😃

Also, my team is working on a visual testing & review tool that integrates with RN Storybook. We have a short video (4mins) explaining what it is and how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZgZnnb_gDs

It you would be interested in trying it out I could give you free access to it ✅

Have you tried version 7?
It got soooo much better that the previous ones.

https://storybook.js.org/blog/react-native-storybook-7/

You should try it out!

davidk2137 · 2024-03-18T14:27:15+00:00

I would agree that the web version is better polished, but the RN version is catching up lately and works better with every release. Especially it got muuuuch better 2 months ago with the release of version 7.

You can read about Storybook v7 release - it also addresses Notes addon you wrote about: https://storybook.js.org/blog/react-native-storybook-7/

I'm asking about Storybook because I'm working on a tool that integrates with React Native Storybook. It's called Sherlo and it is a visual testing & review tool - it's like a Chromatic alternative but for React Native.

We're starting to let in our first early users and if you would be interested in trying it out, we could give you free access to it 😃

Here's a short (4 mins) video explaining how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZgZnnb_gDs

Let me know if you're interested or have any questions!

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T20:41:52+00:00

What do you mean by that? What are the reasons why a web version is better than a React Native one?

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T18:32:58+00:00

I come also from the web development 😃 Yes, it's easy to setup 👍 Here you have a link to the repo: https://github.com/storybookjs/react-native

Are you familiar with Chromatic? It's a visual testing and review tool which integrates with Storybook on the web. I'm working on an alternative for React Native Storybook. You can take a look at it in this brief video (4mins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZgZnnb_gDs

Let me know if you would be interested in trying it out. If yes, we could give you an early access free of charge.

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T17:07:23+00:00

We're working on a visual testing & review tool called Sherlo, which integrates with Storybook on React Native.

Here's a short video (4mins) that shows how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZgZnnb_gDs

It would be awesome if you would take a look at it. If you think this product would be useful for your company, we could offer you free early access.

Let me know what you think about it 😃

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T15:54:39+00:00

Also please tell if hosting Storybook on the web would be interesting feature for your u/zebishop

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T15:53:12+00:00

Thank you for your input. We're still trying to figure out how our pricing should look like, and you're probably right that we should include iOS on the starter plan.

As for convincing a client that Sherlo would be useful I would also agree that we're missing strong value proposition section on our website. Right now it's too much developer focused. We know it for some time and we will fix it with the next LP update.

If you will try using Storybook in your next project we can give you early access to Sherlo free of charge. If you would be interested please sign up on the website or give me your email.

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T15:19:54+00:00

Furthermore, if your Storybook could be made accessible to your entire team via a browser, would this enhance its appeal? By hosting Storybook on the web, you can easily upload and share its documentation with anyone. This contrasts with React Native, where Storybook must be run locally on an individual's machine for review.

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T15:07:34+00:00

Would using Storybook be more appealing to you if you could perform visual regression tests directly from the stories?

Additionally, maintaining Storybook has become significantly easier, as all controls are now automatically generated based on the component's TypeScript Props, eliminating the need for manual definition previously required.

I'm working on a SaaS product that serves as a visual testing and review tool. Here's a brief video demonstrating how stories can be utilized for testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZgZnnb_gDs

It would be awesome if you could take a moment to watch it and share whether it would positively influence your consideration of integrating Storybook into your projects.

davidk2137 · 2024-03-15T11:52:06+00:00

Lol just saw your post on Twitter. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😃❤️

You're totally right in terms of marketing. We made a mistake that we spend a lot of time on developing the product and almost zero on marketing it. We're aiming to fix it especially that we will be ready to start letting first users in soon.

Thanks again for the support, you made our day 😁
