CSF-Factories: Export WebComponentsTypes and VueTypes #33521

kasperpeulen · 2026-01-13T09:11:50Z

Closes #

What I did

Export WebComponentsTypes from @storybook/web-components and VueTypes from @storybook/vue3.

When using CSF factories with meta.story(), the return type references these type constraints, but they were not exported from the package's public API, causing TS4023 errors:

TS4023: Exported variable 'Default' has or is using name 'WebComponentsTypes'

This follows the existing pattern from @storybook/react which already exports ReactTypes (added in #30601).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two renderer package index files now publicly re-export their respective types. Vue3 renderer exports VueTypes from its types module, and web-components renderer exports WebComponentsTypes. Both are type-only exports that expand the public API surface without affecting runtime behavior.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Vue3 renderer types export `code/renderers/vue3/src/index.ts`	Added type-only re-export of `VueTypes` from `./types` module to public API.
Web Components renderer types export `code/renderers/web-components/src/index.ts`	Added type-only re-export of `WebComponentsTypes` from `./types` module to public API.

Learning: In Storybook, storybook/actions/decorator is a preview-only entrypoint and should not be included in manager globals configuration. The duplicatedKeys array in code/core/src/manager/globals/globals-module-info.ts is specifically for manager-side externalization, not preview entrypoints.

🔇 Additional comments (2)

code/renderers/vue3/src/index.ts (1)

8-9: LGTM! Type export correctly exposes VueTypes in the public API.

The export type { VueTypes } from './types'; syntax properly re-exports the interface with no runtime impact, resolving the TS4023 error for cases where VueTypes is referenced in type annotations.

code/renderers/web-components/src/index.ts (1)

12-13: LGTM! Consistent type export pattern.

This correctly exposes WebComponentsTypes in the public API, consistent with the Vue3 change and the existing ReactTypes pattern from @storybook/react. The placement after the barrel exports is appropriate.
