Global layout

You can add the parameter to your ./storybook/preview.js, like so:

<CodeSnippets path="storybook-preview-layout-param.md" />

In the example above, Storybook will center all stories in the UI. layout accepts these options:

  • centered: center the component horizontally and vertically in the Canvas
  • fullscreen: allow the component to expand to the full width and height of the Canvas
  • padded: (default) Add extra padding around the component

Component layout

You can also set it at a component level like so:

<CodeSnippets path="storybook-component-layout-param.md" />

Story layout

Or even apply it to specific stories like so:

<CodeSnippets path="storybook-story-layout-param.md" />
