React-bootstrap-table2: React styleguidist

[prajapati-parth]

@AllenFang I'm aware you've selected storybook for building examples. But as we are still at an early stage in react-bootstrap-table2, would it be possible to use React styleguidist compared to storybook?
They offer great configurations and support JSDoc comment transformation to prop tables. Example.

I'd be more than happy to build examples from scratch using react styleguidist.

Thanks.

@prajapati-parth nice suggestion. For my opinion, the storybook is better to perform the example and it support to publish your books to website and the other concern is storybook is more popular and active community. After I checked the styleguidist quickly, storybook and styleguidist are easy to config, change styles or create your plugin. But support JSDoc is a nice point for me, I'll investigate it more for this option. thanks your feedback, it's really awesome

Sure @AllenFang. I also did see that storybook has a larger community. :+1:

@AllenFang @Chun-MingChen Checkout prajapati-parth/react-bootstrap-table2@b6ac6d586ee0984b68ec73c5c67c3c3af35044ff. I've added 3 examples using styleguidist and it seems pretty cool.

Also I've not worked much to configure it properly, I've just built a working prototype. We can enhance it if we decide to go with react-styleguidist. Let me know your thoughts.

Screenshot for quick reference(the code blocks are collapsable and interactive playground for live editing):
Note: The sidebar is broken in screenshot by full page screenshot plugin, else it works perfectly.

@prajapati-parth thanks, we will consider it. Currently, I think we need a explicit or actual benefit to prove react-styleguidist is more better than react-storybook, After checked your commit, I think react-styleguidist and react-storybook still need some configuration but not very hard to config.

So I think I prefer to keep to use react-storybook but let's keep this thread open here an if there have more benefit on react-styleguidist then I can toward to use it :)

Thanks 👍

Sure @AllenFang, mean while you can visit here for the differences between react-storybook and react-styleguidist.

Great 👍

@AllenFang after more in detail looking into the options, I understand that storybook is better suited for a development environment whereas react-styleguidist is for creating playground/documentation site. And since we are using docusaurus for the documentation site, the question in this issue is out of purpose. Closing this out!
