Ladle

Ladle is a drop-in alternative to Storybook. It is a tool for developing and testing your React components in an environment that's isolated and faster than most real-world applications. Ladle also creates an index of your components, so you can easily test them through tools like Playwright. Ladle is compatible with the Component Story Format and Controls. It supports links, themes, right-to-left, source code, a11y (axe), typescript and flow out of the box. Powered by Vite, using esbuild, embracing ES modules and code-splitting with HMR/Fast Refresh for each story. No configuration needed but still customizable. Ladle is a single dependency and command. Batteries included. Ladle supports only React, embraces the latest standards (ES Modules) and focuses on performance. It's built around Vite - modules are directly served to the browser and the bundling step is completely skipped. This means instant server starts no matter how many components it needs to load.
