@storybook/addon-links has undergone a significant update, moving from version 6.5.16 to 7.0.0, offering developers exciting new features and improvements for building interactive storybooks. The core functionality remains the same: enabling developers to link stories together, creating demos and prototypes directly within their UI component library.
However, the internal architecture has been revamped. Version 7.0.0 reflects Storybook's modernization efforts, evident in the updated dependencies. Gone are dependencies like core-js, regenerator-runtime, global and @types/qs, replaced by a streamlined approach. Developers will appreciate the adoption of newer Storybook packages like @storybook/types, @storybook/global, @storybook/manager-api, and @storybook/preview-api, aligning the addon with the latest Storybook ecosystem. The dependency on @storybook/csf also now depends on next rather than a specific canary release.
The peer dependencies remain constant, ensuring compatibility with React versions 16.8.0, 17.0.0, and 18.0.0. A noticeable difference is the reduction in the package's unpacked size and file count, suggesting a more efficient and optimized build process. Developers upgrading should be aware of these dependency changes and consult the Storybook migration guides for a smooth transition. The updated version promises better performance, improved maintainability, and a more consistent experience within the Storybook environment.
