Lookbook

tool 6 connections

Ruby on Rails gem that layers on top of ViewComponent's preview feature to give a browsable UI for all components and their preview variants. Similar in spirit to Storybook for React. Radoslav Stankov uses Lookbook both for visual exploration of component variants and as the foundation of his smoke-testing strategy: Capybara tests visit each preview page and assert the component doesn't blow up.
