 # @aurelia/storybook
 
-> **Note:** Storybook support is currently in an early stage, and there may be bugs, issues, or unsupported features in this plugin. The intention is to make this plugin more production-ready when Aurelia 2 reaches stable release.
+> **Note:** Storybook support is still early-stage. Expect a few rough edges while Aurelia 2 finishes its beta cycle, and please report anything that feels off.
 
-This package provides an integration between Aurelia 2 and Storybook 9 using Vite or Webpack. It lets you write and render Aurelia 2 components as Storybook stories with full support for Storybook controls, actions, and interactive testing.
+`@aurelia/storybook` is the glue between Aurelia 2 components and Storybook 10. It wires Aurelia's `enhance()` API into Storybook's rendering pipeline so you can preview, test, and document your components with either the Vite or Webpack builders.
 
-## Features
+## Compatibility at a Glance
 
-- **Vite & Webpack Support**: Works with both Vite (via `@storybook/builder-vite`) and Webpack 5 (via `@storybook/builder-webpack5`).
-- **Aurelia Enhancement**: Renders Aurelia 2 components using Aurelia's `enhance()` API.
-- **Storybook 9 Compatibility**: Fully compatible with Storybook 9's new rendering API.
-- **Arg & Action Support**: Use story args and actions as you would with any Storybook story.
+| Item | Supported versions | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Storybook | 10.x (ESM) | Tested with 10.0.5+; works with `storybook dev`/`storybook build` commands. |
+| Aurelia | 2.0.0-beta.25+ | Uses Aurelia's `enhance()` APIs under the hood. |
+| Bundlers | `@storybook/builder-vite` (Vite 5) · `@storybook/builder-webpack5` | Pick whichever matches your app; both share the same Aurelia preview runtime. |
+| Node.js | ≥ 20.19.0 or ≥ 22.12.0 | Matches the engines field in `package.json` and Storybook 10's baseline.
 
-## Installation
+## Requirements
+
+- An Aurelia 2 application (TypeScript or JavaScript) already set up with either Vite or Webpack.
+- Storybook 10.x installed in the project. (Run `npx storybook@latest init` if you are starting fresh.)
+- The peer dependencies listed in [`package.json`](package.json) that align with the Aurelia 2 beta train you are targeting.
 
-Install the plugin as a dev dependency:
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
-npm install --save-dev @aurelia/storybook
+npm install --save-dev @aurelia/storybook storybook @storybook/builder-vite
+# or, for Webpack builds:
+npm install --save-dev @aurelia/storybook storybook @storybook/builder-webpack5
 ```
 
-Also, make sure to have the required dependencies installed in your project:
+Add whichever addons you need (`@storybook/addon-links`, `@storybook/addon-actions`, etc.). Essentials functionality now ships with Storybook 10 core, so most projects only add optional extras.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (Vite Builder)
+
+1. **Install** the dev dependencies as shown above (or with `pnpm`/`yarn`).
+2. **Create `.storybook/main.ts`:**
+
+   ```ts
+   // .storybook/main.ts
+   import { mergeConfig, type InlineConfig } from 'vite';
+   import type { StorybookConfig } from 'storybook/internal/types';
+
+   const config: StorybookConfig & { viteFinal?: (config: InlineConfig) => InlineConfig | Promise<InlineConfig> } = {
+     stories: ['../src/stories/**/*.stories.@(ts|tsx|js|jsx|mdx)'],
+     addons: ['@storybook/addon-links'],
+     framework: {
+       name: '@aurelia/storybook',
+       options: {},
+     },
+     core: {
+       builder: '@storybook/builder-vite',
+     },
+     viteFinal: async (viteConfig) => {
+       // Ensure problematic Aurelia deps are excluded from pre-bundling.
+       viteConfig.optimizeDeps = viteConfig.optimizeDeps ?? {};
+       viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude = Array.from(new Set([...(viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude ?? []), '@aurelia/runtime-html']));
+
+       return mergeConfig(viteConfig, {
+         define: {
+           'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'development'),
+         },
+       });
+     },
+   };
+
+   export default config;
+   ```
 
-```bash
-npm install --save-dev storybook @storybook/builder-vite
-```
+   - Excluding `@aurelia/runtime-html` keeps Vite from trying to pre-bundle Aurelia's DOM runtime, which is already ESM friendly.
+   - The `define` shim avoids `process is not defined` errors when Storybook code (or Aurelia plugins) look for `process.env.NODE_ENV` in the preview iframe.
 
-For testing functionality, you may also want to install:
+3. **Create `.storybook/preview.ts`:**
 
-```bash
-npm install --save-dev @storybook/test @storybook/addon-actions
-```
+   ```ts
+   // .storybook/preview.ts
+   export { render, renderToCanvas } from '@aurelia/storybook';
+   ```
+
+4. **Add `storybook` scripts** to `package.json`:
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "scripts": {
+       "storybook": "storybook dev -p 6006",
+       "build-storybook": "storybook build"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **Run Storybook:** `npm run storybook` starts the dev server at http://localhost:6006.
 
-> **Tip:** Check your existing Aurelia 2 app for already installed versions. The peer dependencies are expected to be compatible with Aurelia 2 beta releases (see `package.json` for version details).
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Storybook Configuration
-
-To integrate Aurelia 2 with your Storybook instance, follow these steps:
-
-1. **Preset Setup**:
-    The package comes with a minimal Storybook preset (see [src/preset.ts](src/preset.ts)) that allows you to adjust Vite's configuration if needed. Storybook will use this preset to set up the build system for your Aurelia stories.
-
-2. **Framework Setup**:
-    For a full Aurelia 2 integration with Vite and a TypeScript configuration, ensure that your Storybook configuration files are set up as follows:
-
-    -   **.storybook/main.ts**
-        Create or update your `.storybook/main.ts` file with the following contents:
-
-        ```typescript
-        import type { StorybookConfig } from 'storybook/internal/types';
-        import { mergeConfig, type InlineConfig } from 'vite';
-
-        const config: StorybookConfig & { viteFinal?: (config: InlineConfig, options: { configType: string }) => InlineConfig | Promise<InlineConfig> } = {
-          stories: ['../src/stories/**/*.stories.@(ts|tsx|js|jsx|mdx)'],
-          addons: [
-              // Additional addons (essentials are now built into Storybook 9 core):
-              '@storybook/addon-links'
-          ],
-          framework: {
-            name: '@aurelia/storybook',
-            options: {},
-          },
-          core: {
-            builder: '@storybook/builder-vite',
-          },
-          viteFinal: async (viteConfig) => {
-            viteConfig.optimizeDeps = viteConfig.optimizeDeps || {};
-            viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude = viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude || [];
-            if (!viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude.includes('@aurelia/runtime-html')) {
-              viteConfig.optimizeDeps.exclude.push('@aurelia/runtime-html');
-            }
-            return mergeConfig(viteConfig, {
-              // ...any additional Vite configuration
-            });
-          },
-        };
-
-        export default config;
-        ```
-
-    -   **.storybook/preview.ts**
-        Next, update or create your `.storybook/preview.ts` file with the following code to import the render functions from the Aurelia Storybook plugin:
-
-        ```typescript
-        // .storybook/preview.ts
-        // Import the render function from the plugin package.
-        export { render, renderToCanvas } from '@aurelia/storybook';
-        ```
-
-    > **Note:** Essential features like actions, controls, backgrounds, and viewport are now built into Storybook 9 core and don't need to be installed separately. However, if you need to use the `action()` function in your stories (for programmatic actions), you may still need to install `@storybook/addon-actions`. Additional addons like `@storybook/addon-links` can be installed and added to the `addons` array in your configuration.
-
-    ### Using with Webpack
-
-    If you prefer to use Webpack instead of Vite, update your `.storybook/main.ts` configuration:
-
-    ```typescript
-    import type { StorybookConfig } from 'storybook/internal/types';
-
-    const config: StorybookConfig = {
-      stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.@(ts|tsx|js|jsx|mdx)'],
-      addons: [
-        '@storybook/addon-links'
-      ],
-      framework: {
-        name: '@aurelia/storybook',
-        options: {},
-      },
-      core: {
-        builder: '@storybook/builder-webpack5',
-      },
-    };
-
-    export default config;
-    ```
-
-    The `.storybook/preview.ts` file remains the same for both Vite and Webpack configurations.
-
-3. **Add scripts to your package.json**:
-    Add the following scripts to your `package.json` file to work with Storybook:
-
-    ```json
-    "scripts": {
-      "storybook": "storybook dev -p 6006",
-      "build-storybook": "storybook build"
-    }
-    ```
-    These scripts will allow you to start Storybook in development mode and build it for production.
-
-### Writing Stories
-
-Aurelia 2 stories are written similarly to standard Storybook stories, with a few Aurelia-specific details. Below is an example story file (`hello-world.stories.ts`) that demonstrates various scenarios:
-
-```typescript
+## Quick Start (Webpack Builder)
+
+1. Install `@storybook/builder-webpack5` instead of the Vite builder.
+2. Create `.storybook/main.ts`:
+
+   ```ts
+   import type { StorybookConfig } from 'storybook/internal/types';
+
+   const config: StorybookConfig = {
+     stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.@(ts|tsx|js|jsx|mdx)'],
+     addons: ['@storybook/addon-links'],
+     framework: {
+       name: '@aurelia/storybook',
+       options: {},
+     },
+     core: {
+       builder: '@storybook/builder-webpack5',
+     },
+   };
+
+   export default config;
+   ```
+
+   The preset embedded in this package injects the `ts-loader` + `@aurelia/webpack-loader` rules so you typically do not need extra config, but `webpackFinal` is available if you need to extend it further.
+
+3. Reuse the same `.storybook/preview.ts` and `package.json` scripts as in the Vite quick start.
+
+---
+
+## Writing Aurelia Stories
+
+Story files look exactly like standard Storybook CSF stories. The framework export automatically:
+
+- Registers the component you set on the default export.
+- Uses `renderToCanvas` to bootstrap an Aurelia app inside Storybook's preview iframe.
+- Generates a template for you if you omit the `render` function (it binds every declared `bindable`).
+
+```ts
+// src/stories/hello-world.stories.ts
 import { HelloWorld } from '../hello-world';
-import { fn } from '@storybook/test';
-import { userEvent, within } from '@storybook/test';

-### How It Works
+### Story Result Contract
 
-- **Render Function**:  
-  The integration exports a render function (`renderToCanvas`) that Storybook calls to mount your Aurelia component on the preview canvas. It clears the canvas, enhances it with Aurelia, and notifies Storybook when rendering is complete.
+When you provide a custom `render` function, return an object with any of the following fields. The Aurelia runtime consumes them while creating the preview app:
 
-- **Aurelia Enhancement**:  
-  Once the canvas is cleared, the integration instantiates a new Aurelia instance, registers your component (and any additional Aurelia modules you may specify), and calls the Aurelia `enhance()` API to bind your component's view to the DOM.
+| Field | Type | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `template` | `string` | Markup that will be enhanced inside Storybook's canvas. Required when you do not rely on the auto-generated template. |
+| `components` | `unknown[]` | Additional custom elements, value converters, etc. to register via `aurelia.register(...)`. |
+| `items` | `unknown[]` | Any DI registrations (e.g., `Registration.instance(...)`, services, or Aurelia plugins). |
+| `container` | `IContainer` | Supply a pre-configured Aurelia DI container if you need full control. |
+| `innerHtml` | `string` | Optional projection content used when a component template is auto-generated from the `component` export. |
+| `props` | `Record<string, any>` | Story-specific props that merge with Storybook `args`. Useful when you need defaults that should not surface as controls.
 
-- **Arg Integration and Interactions**:  
-  Just like with other Storybook frameworks, you can make your stories interactive by defining args and using the testing library's `play` function to simulate user interactions.
+## Registering Aurelia Dependencies & DI
 
-## Development
+Use the `components`, `items`, or `container` fields to bring along everything your component needs:
 
-If you wish to contribute or modify the integration:
+```ts
+import { DI, Registration } from 'aurelia';
+import { HttpClient } from '@aurelia/fetch-client';
+import { OrdersPanel } from '../orders-panel';
 
-1. **Build the package** using TypeScript:
+const container = DI.createContainer();
+container.register(
+  HttpClient,
+  Registration.instance('apiBaseUrl', 'https://api.example.com')
+);
 
-   ```bash
-   npm run build
-   ```
+export const WithServices = {
+  render: () => ({
+    template: `<orders-panel api-base-url.bind="apiBaseUrl"></orders-panel>`,
+    components: [OrdersPanel],
+    container,
+    props: {
+      apiBaseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
+    },
+  }),
+};
+```
 
-2. **Watch for changes** during development:
+Because the Aurelia app lives for the lifetime of the story iframe, DI registrations persist until the story is torn down or Storybook forces a remount. If you need a clean state between stories, set `parameters: { forceRemount: true }` on the story or click the *Remount component* toolbar button in Storybook.
 
-   ```bash
-   npm run watch
-   ```
+## Example Apps Inside This Repo
+
+- `apps/hello-world` – Vite-based Aurelia starter that consumes `@aurelia/storybook`.
+- `apps/hello-world-webpack` – Equivalent Webpack example.
+
+To try them out:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/hello-world
+npm install
+npm run storybook
+
+cd ../hello-world-webpack
+npm install
+npm run storybook
+```
+
+Each sample project now includes a small library of showcase stories you can open in Storybook to see different aspects of the integration:
+
+- `HelloWorld` – the minimal counter example wired to Storybook controls and actions.
+- `StatCard` – demonstrates args-driven styling and wiring the `onRefresh` action.
+- `NotificationCenter` – renders repeating templates and exercises dismissal actions + play functions.
+- `FeedbackForm` – shows two-way bindings, form state, and Storybook interaction tests that fill and submit inputs.
+- `WeatherWidget` – uses Aurelia's DI plus `items` registration in the story to provide a mock `WeatherService` implementation.
+
+These are great references when you want to compare your configuration against a working baseline or copy/paste patterns into your own component library.
+
+## Troubleshooting & Tips
+
+- **`process is not defined` inside the preview iframe** – Add `define: { 'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'development') }` in your `viteFinal` merge (shown above).
+- **Vite fails while pre-bundling Aurelia packages** – Ensure `@aurelia/runtime-html` (and any other Aurelia libs that re-export DOM globals) are listed in `optimizeDeps.exclude`.
+- **State leaks between stories** – By default we reuse the Aurelia app instance for performance. Pass `parameters: { forceRemount: true }` to stories that must start fresh.
+- **Need additional Storybook addons?** – Add them to the `addons` array as usual. The Aurelia framework only controls rendering, so controls, actions, interactions, and testing addons all work normally.
+
+## Development
+
+This repository publishes the Storybook framework itself. Helpful scripts:
+
+- `npm run build` – bundle the framework with Rollup.
+- `npm run build:types` – emit `.d.ts` files via `tsc`.
+- `npm run watch` – development build with Rollup watch mode.
+- `npm run test` – run the Jest suite (uses the JSDOM environment).
 
-3. **Run Storybook** in your local application to see the integration in action.
+While developing, you can link the package into one of the sample apps in `apps/` to manual-test Storybook changes end to end.
