Description of a component is (still) not picked up right by [addon-info]

Describe the bug Description of a component is (still) not picked up right by addon-info.

var validMatches = [kind, name];
if (validMatches.includes(STORYBOOK_REACT_CLASSES[key].name)) {
  var componentDescription = STORYBOOK_REACT_CLASSES[key].docgenInfo.description;
  retDiv = _react.default.createElement("div", null, _this3.marksy(componentDescription).tree);
}

The above code in Story.js function _getComponentDescription only work when:

• The storiesOf ‘name’ parameter (kind) is exact match
• The story.add ‘storyName’ parameter is an exact match (when would you want to do this?)

In my situation, I want to create hierarchy by using slashes in the storiesOf ‘name’ and I would use the storyName to describe the test/state of the component in the story, like so:

const stories = storiesOf('atoms/button/ButtonPrimary', module);
stories.add('default', () => <ButtonPrimary /> );
stories.add('some prop', () => <ButtonPrimary  someProp={true} />);

suggested solution would be to get the hierarchySeparator and split the storyKind with it and only use the last entree in the comparison, if that is possible and doesn’t break anything:

var realKind = kind.split(hierarchySeparator || '/');
var validMatches = [realKind[realKind.length - 1], name];
if (validMatches.includes(STORYBOOK_REACT_CLASSES[key].name)) {
  var componentDescription = STORYBOOK_REACT_CLASSES[key].docgenInfo.description;
  retDiv = _react.default.createElement("div", null, _this3.marksy(componentDescription).tree);
}

“react”: “^16.8.4”, “@storybook/react”: “^5.0.5”, “@storybook/addon-info”: “^5.0.5”

@marcel-k We’re generally focusing on addon-docs, a replacement for addon-info that fixes this issue and many others.

https://medium.com/storybookjs/storybook-docs-sneak-peak-5be78445094a

It’s currently usable in technical preview in the #docs-mode channel on our Discord https://discord.gg/UUt2PJb and will be documented as part of the 5.1 release (but officially released in 5.2)
