@storybook/addon-essentials simplifies Storybook configuration by bundling essential addons into a single package. Comparing versions 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, the core functionality remains largely the same, focused on enhancing the Storybook development experience. Both versions include crucial addons like "@storybook/addon-docs" for automated documentation generation, "@storybook/addon-actions" for inspecting component interactions, "@storybook/addon-controls" for live editing of component props, and "@storybook/addon-viewport" and "@storybook/addon-backgrounds" for responsive design testing. "@storybook/addon-toolbars" is also part of the package allowing you to add global toolbars to your storybook.
The primary difference lies in the version bumps of the internal Storybook dependencies. Version 6.1.2 updates its dependencies to align with Storybook's core version 6.1.2, ensuring better compatibility and possibly incorporating bug fixes or minor improvements from those individual addons. For developers, this means upgrading to 6.1.2 ensures you're leveraging the latest refinements within the Storybook ecosystem.
Both versions share the same peer dependencies, requiring specific versions of React, ReactDOM, Webpack, @babel/core and babel-loader, and @storybook/vue, signalling a consistent integration approach across the versions. Updating is generally recommended to stay current with the Storybook ecosystem and benefit from any incremental improvements.
