@storybook/addon-essentials provides a curated set of essential Storybook addons designed to enhance the development and testing workflow for UI components. Comparing versions 8.6.12 and 8.6.13, the core functionality remains largely consistent, maintaining the suite of tools that developers rely on daily. Both versions include dependencies such as ts-dedent for cleaner template literals and core Storybook addons like @storybook/addon-docs for automated documentation, @storybook/addon-actions for logging interactions, @storybook/addon-measure and @storybook/addon-outline for debugging layout, @storybook/addon-controls for interactive prop editing, @storybook/addon-toolbars and @storybook/addon-viewport for responsive design testing, @storybook/addon-highlight for code highlighting, and @storybook/addon-backgrounds for theming.
The primary difference lies in the versions of their own dependencies, each addon depending on the same version of Storybook as the essentials package, ensuring compatibility and consistent behaviour across the Storybook environment. Developers should upgrade to version 8.6.13 principally to ensure they are running the latest compatible versions of all the included addons, and to receive any bug fixes or minor improvements included within those individual addon updates. Building on the Storybook ecosystem is key, and this package offers essential addons for UI development.
