Story layout

The layout parameter allows you to configure how stories are positioned in Storybook's Canvas tab.

Global layout

You can add the parameter to your ./storybook/preview.js, like so:

export default {
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
};

In the example above, Storybook will center all stories in the UI. layout accepts these options:

• centered: center the component horizontally and vertically in the Canvas
• fullscreen: allow the component to expand to the full width and height of the Canvas
• padded: (default) Add extra padding around the component

Component layout

You can also set it at a component level like so:

import { Button } from './Button';
 
export default {
  component: Button,
  // Sets the layout parameter component wide.
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
};

Story layout

Or even apply it to specific stories like so:

import { Button } from './Button':
 
export default {
  component: Button,
}
 
export const WithLayout = {
  parameters: {
    layout: 'centered',
  },
};
