@nx/storybook:build

Build storybook in production mode.

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

project.json:

//...
"ui": {
    "targets": {
        //...
        "build-storybook": {
            "executor": "@nx/storybook:build",
            "outputs": ["{options.outputDir}"],
            "options": {
                "outputDir": "dist/storybook/ui",
                "configDir": "libs/ui/.storybook"
            },
            "configurations": {
                "ci": {
                    "quiet": true
                }
            }
        }
}
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

nx run ui:build-storybook

Examples

For non-Angular projects

You can work in docs mode, building a documentation-only site, by setting the docsMode option to true and using the @storybook/addon-docs addon.

"storybook": {
    "executor": "@nx/storybook:build",
    "options": {
        "port": 4400,
        "configDir": "libs/ui/.storybook",
        "docsMode": true
    },
    "configurations": {
        "ci": {
            "quiet": true
        }
    }
}
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

For Angular projects

This is the default configuration for Angular projects using Storybook. You can see that it uses the native @storybook/angular:build-storybook executor. You can read more about the configuration options at the relevant Storybook documentation page.

"build-storybook": {
  "executor": "@storybook/angular:build-storybook",
  "outputs": ["{options.outputDir}"],
  "options": {
    "outputDir": "dist/storybook/ngapp",
    "configDir": "libs/ui/.storybook",
    "browserTarget": "ui:build",
    "compodoc": false
  },
  "configurations": {
    "ci": {
      "quiet": true
    }
  }
}
