Posts to do with configuring or using Storybook

It's been a few days since I posted. That's not because I haven't been busy, it's because setting up unit testing turned out to be much harder than I anticipated.
To be fair, I was trying to achieve a somewhat complex setup.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a central location to showcase whatever components I add to the Docusaurus repertoire.
I'd worked with Storybook before, and found it pretty handy. During development, it gives you a way to interact with a component-in-progress and see that it works as intended. It can serve as a beginning basis for unit and component tests, and it can be a really handy tool for communicating with non-technical stakeholders... clicking on a component and seeing immediately how it responds is much easier to grasp than an engineer trying to explain something to you in non-engineer-speak as best they can. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.
I really like Docusaurus, but I also find there are some things it's missing. Happily, one of the best things about it is that it is, at bottom, React, which means you can add the things you find missing.
