I implemented a Popper component using popper.js, and I used React's Portal to render popper element.
And now I want to preview my popper component, but It fails to create portal on storybook.js
Here's my approach.
.storybook/preview.js
import { ThemeProvider } from 'emotion-theming';
import { Global } from '@emotion/react';
import { theme, normalize } from 'custom-theme';
export const parameters = {
actions: { argTypesRegex: '^on[A-Z].*' },
controls: {
matchers: {
color: /(background|color)$/i,
date: /Date$/,
},
},
};
export const decorators = [
Story => (
<>
<ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
<Global styles={normalize} />
{Story()}
<div id="popper-root"></div>
</ThemeProvider>
</>
),
];
Portal.tsx
import { ReactNode, useMemo } from 'react';
import { createPortal } from 'react-dom';
interface IPortal {
children: ReactNode;
portalId: string;
}
const Portal = ({ children, portalId }: IPortal) => {
const portalElement = useMemo<HTMLElement | null>(
() => document.getElementById(portalId),
[portalId],
);
if (!portalElement) {
throw new Error(`Undefined Portal Id : ${portalId}`);
}
return createPortal(children, portalElement);
};
export default Portal;

Is there any way to show component using react portal on storybook? If not, is there other way to preview it other than testing it on react project?
I was able to do a workaround on this by adding
<div id="popper-root"></div> to my ComponentStory Template.
But One thing is if I render story with portal open, it cannot find popper-root.
I have got a root element id in storybook to use for the portal. And I have used it for the React/Next.js portal. Now it's working well.
<div id="docs-root"></div>document.getElementById('docs-root)Add preview-body.html, next to preview.js, with this:
<div id="popper-root"></div>
