Storybook: Support of @storybook/addon-info for Angular stories

[simhnna]

There already exists a closed issue #3134 about this.
Would be really nice to have

[procload]

Seconded. Is there any timeline for this? Angular has support for most of Storybook's add-ons, but this key add-on is lacking. For something like Storybook to be really valuable in an organization, developers would need to know the implementation details of each component. Outside of this add-on, is there any other way to do achieve this?

Agreed ^. Any update on this being available for Angular repos? This would be huge for us to switch to Storybook.

I'm building Storybook Docs, a replacement for notes/info:

I just got it working for React+Vue and will try it out on Angular today. It'll be in alpha for awhile because I want to make sure it's working well for a bunch of view layers and use cases. But it's coming!!

@shilman That is so great to hear! Thank you, looking forward

[georgediaz88]

@shilman, that's awesome news! I can't wait to try that out once it's available for Angular. Question I'm not super clear on, so when the mdx files are available for Angular, is the concept then that stories are written together with the markdown in an mdx file? Or are stories still written in under stories/?

And it's working! (Still in POC form, but super smooth):

@shilman do you have a working branch for this?

[shilman]

@anoopsinghbayes yes but not really ready to share. i'm trying to wrap up the technical preview this week and will be issuing PRs to next at which point it will be ready to review

Any updates on this?
