Core: Remove argTypes from the story context of loaders, beforeEach, play and afterEach - #36484
Merged
ndelangen merged 7 commits intoSep 30, 2026
Conversation
…play and afterEach Lifecycle hooks now receive a proxied context that throws a categorized ArgTypesRemovedFromStoryContextError when argTypes is read. Decorators and render functions keep argTypes through the new StoryContextForRender type, because renderers depend on it while rendering.

BREAKING CHANGE
ci:normal
…rRender The Angular webpack sandbox typechecks template stories, and passing a StoryContext into ArgsStoryFn fails now that its context requires argTypes.

Closes #35919
What I did
Loaders,
beforeEach,play,afterEach, andstepno longer receiveargTypeson the story context. Reading it throwsArgTypesRemovedFromStoryContextError(SB_PREVIEW_API_0017), which links to the migration note.Decorators and
renderfunctions still receiveargTypes. Renderers read it while rendering, and user decorators run in that same chain. Their context type is the newStoryContextForRender.StoryContextno longer declares the property.With server-side docgen the preview only holds arg types written in the story file, so
context.argTypesin these hooks looked complete and was not. Readargsfor the values. The resolved types stay in the Controls panel and the ArgTypes doc block.Notes for review
The hidden context is a
Proxyover the real one, not a copy. Hooks mutate the context (context.canvas = ...), andmount/stepclose over the same object.originalStoryFnis a method. As a property typedArgsStoryFn<TRenderer>,StoryContextbecame invariant inTRenderer, so a genericPlayFunction<Renderer>no longer assigned to a framework-specific story.StoryContextUpdatestill has[key: string]: any, socontext.argTypesin a hook typechecks asany. The throw is what surfaces the removal.HiddenFromPlayincode/core/template/stories/argTypes.stories.tsis a new story, which is why Chromatic asks for a baseline on every sandbox that publishes template stories. Bench templates skip those stories, and the docgen-server sandboxes skip Chromatic.Removing
argTypes.defaultValue(SB-2004) is a separate change. This does not depend on the Vue slots work or on making server-side docgen the default.Checklist for Contributors

cd code && yarn storybook:uicore/argtypes--hidden-from-play. The play function passes:argTypesis absent, and reading it throws.core/argtypes--inheritance. The<pre>still prints arg types. The decorator still receives them.play: async (context) => { console.log(context.argTypes) }and reload. The Interactions panel showsSB_PREVIEW_API_0017and links to the migration section.beforeEach, orafterEachthat readscontext.argTypes. Arenderfunction that readsargTypesshould not throw.Worth a look in Vue, Angular, and Svelte sandboxes, where rendering reads
