Storybook: @storybook-addon-options: per-story hiding panel, hides it for every story.

[mariovde]

Bug or support request summary

HI,

What we are trying to do, is to hide the knobs/actions panel per story. For example, on our welcomes page, we don't need it. So we used the options-addon to hide it for this "component".
And it works, BUT it also hides the panel for the rest of the stories.

What we want is to be able to hide the panel for one story and let it re-appear once we switch stories.
We know we can add the options again to the existing story, making it so that it shows up again, but I think that shouldn't be the only solution, no?

Steps to reproduce

• Install the @storybook/addon-options
• add the { options: { showPanel: false } } to a story of your choice
• launch storybook and see if the panel is gone.
• Now, switch stories.
  Result: the panel is hidden for every story.
  Expected result: the panel should be hidden on 1 story, and shown for the others.

Screenshots / Screencast / Code Snippets (Optional)

This is the code used to create the story that hides the panel. And it works. But hides the panel for the rest of the stories also.

import React, { Fragment } from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';

const Welcome = () => {
  return (
    <Fragment>
      <h1>Welcome</h1>
     </Fragment>
  );
};

storiesOf('Welcome', module).add('Getting started', () => <Welcome />, { options: { showPanel: false } });

Be awesome if it takes it one step further
If a story doesn't contain the settings/properties of a registered addon, it won't show its panel/tab.

Any updates on the solution?

[shilman]

Have you tried a workaround where you globally add

addParameters({ options: { showPanel: true }});

And then locally set it to showPanel: false on specific stories?

[alihassan0]

@shilman I tried that and it still dosen't work.

Hey there, it's me again! I am going close this issue to help our maintainers focus on the current development roadmap instead. If the issue mentioned is still a concern, please open a new ticket and mention this old one. Cheers and thanks for using Storybook!

For the record: @alihassan0 @shilman the proposed workaround does indeed work in 5.3.12

[kushalmahajan]

@shilman

"build-storybook": "build-storybook --docs -c .storybook -s ./public",

does not work in 5.3.7. Do I need to update to some higher version?

[shilman]

@kushalmahajan in what way doesn't it work, and how is it related to this issue?

[kushalmahajan]

Oops! Posted on wrong thread. I will update accordingly.

[alexweber]

@shilman

"build-storybook": "build-storybook --docs -c .storybook -s ./public",

does not work in 5.3.7. Do I need to update to some higher version?

try 5.3.12 that's the version I verified the functioning workaround :)

This workaround is not working for me in 5.3.19 or 6.0.10. I tried this:

I have showPanel set to true in .storybook/manager.js

addons.setConfig({
  showPanel: true,
});

In my documentation story, I am disabling it:

import GettingStarted from "./GettingStarted";

export default {
  title: "Documentation/Getting Started",
  component: GettingStarted,
  parameters: {
    options: {
      showPanel: false,
    },
  },
};

const Docs = GettingStarted;
export { Docs };

I have cleared all caches and site data in my browser.

When I first load a story that should have the panel shown, I see the panel. When I navigate to _Getting Started_ where the panel is hidden, the panel disappears. However, when I navigate to any other story from there on out, the panel is always hidden.
