Talk Description
This talk describes the challenges of developing UIs that are integrated with complex external APIs. Using tools such as React Styleguidist or Storybook eliminate the need for an integration, enabling us to develop components in isolation, outside our application. This technique enables us more flexibility during development and debugging, while also providing a living documentation for our UI components.
