ForgeKit

Auto-generate Storybook stories, interaction tests, Playwright component tests, and accessibility audits from React component analysis.

ForgeKit analyzes your React components — props, callbacks, union types, features — and generates complete .stories.tsx files with controls, variants, interaction tests, and a11y audits. No configuration required.

Install

npm install -D forgekit

Peer dependencies (optional):

• storybook >= 8.0.0
• typescript >= 5.0.0

Run npx forgekit init to check prerequisites and see what's installed.

Quick Start

# Generate a story for a single component
npx forgekit story src/components/Button.tsx

# Generate stories for every component in a directory
npx forgekit stories src/components/

# Check coverage without generating anything
npx forgekit coverage src/components/

| Option | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --skip-interaction-tests | false | Skip generating play functions | | --overwrite | false | Overwrite existing story files | | --dry-run | false | Preview without writing files | | --include-tests | false | Also generate Playwright component tests |

forgekit test <path>

Generate a Playwright component test for a React component.

npx forgekit test src/Button.tsx

| Option | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --overwrite | false | Overwrite existing test file | | --dry-run | false | Preview without writing files |

forgekit watch <dir>

Watch a directory and auto-generate stories when components change.

npx forgekit watch src/components/
npx forgekit watch src/components/ --debounce 500

| Option | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --skip-interaction-tests | false | Skip generating play functions | | --debounce | 300 | Debounce interval in milliseconds |

forgekit coverage <dir>

Report story coverage for a directory without generating files.

npx forgekit coverage src/components/
npx forgekit coverage src/components/ --json

| Option | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --json | false | Output results as JSON |

Coverage grades: A (≥ 90%) · B (≥ 75%) · C (≥ 50%) · D (≥ 25%) · F (< 25%)

What Gets Generated

For each component, ForgeKit can generate up to 9 Storybook stories:

| Story | Condition | Tests | | --- | --- | --- | | Default | Always | Component with default/required props | | Sizes | size prop with union values | All size variants side by side | | Variants | variant prop with union values | All style variants | | ColorPalettes | colorPalette prop with union values | All color options | | Disabled | disabled/isDisabled prop | Disabled state rendering | | ClickInteraction | Any onClick/onPress callback | Click fires handler | | KeyboardNavigation | Any interactive callback | Tab focus + Enter triggers | | RendersCorrectly | Always | Mounts without crashing | | AccessibilityAudit | Always | axe-core a11y check |

And up to 7 Playwright test cases (visual regression, interaction, accessibility).

Programmatic API

import {
  forgeStory,
  forgeStories,
  forgeTest,
  analyzeComponent,
  generateStoryContent,
  scoreCoverage,
  scanDirectory,
  watchDirectory,
} from 'forgekit';

forgeStory(options)

Analyze a component, generate a story, and optionally write it to disk.

const result = await forgeStory({
  componentPath: 'src/Button.tsx',
  overwrite: false,
  dryRun: false,
});
// result: { storyPath, content, analysis, storiesGenerated, written }

forgeStories(options)

Bulk generate stories for all components in a directory.

const result = await forgeStories({
  dir: 'src/components',
  includeComponentTests: true,
});
// result: { generated, failed, alreadyCovered, notAnalyzable, total, coverage, errors }

forgeTest(options)

Generate a Playwright component test for a component.

const result = await forgeTest({
  componentPath: 'src/Button.tsx',
});
// result: { testPath, content, analysis, written }

analyzeComponent(filePath)

Low-level: parse a React component and extract props, imports, features, and export type.

const analysis = analyzeComponent('src/Button.tsx');
// analysis: { componentName, props, imports, features, exportType }

scoreCoverage(covered, total)

Calculate coverage percentage and letter grade.

const report = scoreCoverage(8, 10);
// report: { covered: 8, total: 10, percentage: 80, grade: 'B' }

Component Analysis

ForgeKit detects:

• Props — name, type, required, callbacks, union values ('sm' | 'md' | 'lg')
• Features — children, React Router, React Query, Chakra UI
• Export type — default, named, or both
• Patterns — React.forwardRef, React.memo, intersection types

Controls are auto-mapped: text, number, boolean, select (for unions), action (for callbacks).

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 18.17.1
• React components (.tsx / .jsx)
• Storybook ≥ 8.0.0 (optional peer dep — CLI works without it for dry-run/analysis)
