Running CLI command to install storybook using npm create ignores type option

[DavidHaasz]

Summary

So in the StoryBook CLI Documentation mentions the command create storybook[@version] [options] used for creating new Storybook projects. There is the argument --type which refers to the supported frameworks and clicking the links gives you the following list

but when try to run npm create storybook@latest --type html the type is ignore and am only given one of 5 options a fraction of what is documented.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Is their a way to use alternate frameworks with the latest version of this command or do I have to go back to an earlier version

Hi @DavidHaasz! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the storybook team.

The current Storybook CLI (npm create storybook@latest) only offers a limited set of templates (React, Next.js, Vue 3, Angular, Lit) in its prompts, even if you use the --type option. That's why --type html is ignored and not shown as an option in the interactive flow.

To set up Storybook for vanilla JavaScript/HTML, you can use this workaround:

1. Initialize your project directory with npm init if you haven't already.
2. Run:

   npx storybook@latest init --type html
   

This will scaffold Storybook using the @storybook/html framework, which is designed for plain JavaScript projects without frameworks or TypeScript. This approach bypasses the limited template selection in the create flow and directly sets up the desired configuration. More details are discussed here.

If you want to use other frameworks not shown in the default prompt, try the same pattern with the npx storybook@latest init --type <framework> command.

Let me know if you need steps for a specific setup or if you run into any issues!

To reply, just mention @dosu.
