@storybook/addon-essentials version 6.0.22 is a minor release over the previous stable version 6.0.21, both designed to enhance the Storybook development experience with a curated set of add-ons. The core functionality remains consistent, focusing on providing essential tools to boost Storybook's capabilities. These include features like Docs for automatic documentation generation, Actions for inspecting component interactions, Controls for dynamically adjusting component props, Toolbars for global configuration options, Viewport for responsive design testing, and Backgrounds for visual adjustments.
A key difference lies in the update of the internal Storybook dependencies. All internal dependencies like @storybook/api, @storybook/addons, @storybook/addon-docs, @storybook/node-logger, @storybook/addon-actions, @storybook/addon-controls, @storybook/addon-toolbars, @storybook/addon-viewport, and @storybook/addon-backgrounds have moved from 6.0.21 to 6.0.22. These updates likely include bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features within those individual add-ons.
For developers, upgrading to 6.0.22 ensures access to the latest improvements and bug fixes across the Storybook ecosystem. While the high-level functionality provided by @storybook/addon-essentials remains consistent, the underlying updates provide a more stable and feature-rich experience when building and documenting UI components. Both versions maintain the same peer dependencies of React, React-dom, React-is and Babel-loader.
