Auto-load Previews - External app

[danielnc]

Is there a way to embed all polaris components in my lookbook preview on my own app?

I have new components and styled components from polaris and I want to make sure I see them side by side and use lookbook as a way to document all components usage

Without copying the preview files I can't manage make lookbook auto-load the previews that exists within this gem

Hi @danielnc, sorry for the super-slow reply, I was away on holiday and just got back.

So as I understand it, you are pulling in the Polaris components as a gem, and you want to see the previews of them in Lookbook alongside your own bespoke components. Is that correct?

If I've understood that correctly, then you may be able to do something like this:

# config/application.rb
polaris_gem_dir = Gem::Specification.find_by_name("polaris_view_components").gem_dir
config.lookbook.preview_paths << "#{polaris_gem_dir}/demo/test/components/previews"

I've not tested this yet so YMMV but let me know how you get on if you can :-)
