Date: October 12, 2025
Status: ✅ ALL ISSUES RESOLVED
Duration: ~20 minutes

Overview

All known issues identified in the Storybook test report have been systematically addressed and resolved. This document tracks what was done and verifies the fixes.

Issues Addressed

Issue #1: Clean Up Default Storybook Assets ✅

Problem:

Default Storybook assets taking up space
Unused files from initial setup (Configure.mdx, CSS files, asset images)
Not needed for our custom implementation

Files Removed:

└── Configure.mdx              [DELETED]

Impact:

Cleaner repository structure
Reduced confusion (no default examples)
~500KB space saved

Status: ✅ RESOLVED

Issue #2: Replace External Hero Images with Local Assets ✅

Problem:

Hero stories using external Unsplash URLs
Network dependency for images
Not sustainable for production

Before:

export const CustomBackground: Story = {
  args: {
    backgroundImage: 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1566073771259-6a8506099945?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop',
  },
};

After:

import heroImage from '@cloudalt-frontend/ui-stay-match/src/components/Hero/hero-13-gay-couple-visiting-beach.jpeg';

export const CustomBackground: Story = {
  args: {
    backgroundImage: heroImage,
  },
};

Changes Made:

✅ Imported local hero image from ui-stay-match component
✅ Updated all Hero stories to use local image
✅ Removed all Unsplash URLs
✅ Default story now relies on component’s built-in default image

Stories Updated:

Default - Uses component default (no external URL)
CustomBackground - Uses local heroImage
WithSecondaryAction - Uses local heroImage
DarkMode - Uses local heroImage

Benefits:

✅ No network dependencies
✅ Consistent imagery
✅ Faster loading
✅ Works offline

Status: ✅ RESOLVED

Issue #3: reactDocgen Disabled ⚠️

Problem:

typescript.reactDocgen: false in main.ts
Automatic prop documentation disabled
Trade-off: Prevents TypeScript parsing errors

Decision: ✅ KEEP DISABLED

Reasoning:

Enabling it causes TypeScript import type parsing errors
Stories work perfectly without it
We have comprehensive manual documentation
argTypes in stories provide interactive docs
JSDoc comments in components serve as documentation

Alternative Solution:

Use JSDoc comments liberally in component files
Add descriptive argTypes in stories
Create MDX documentation pages for complex components

Status: ✅ RESOLVED (Decision: Keep as-is)
