[discussion] sb extract

As for now, the logic behind extract function in storybook CLI is basically getting the storybook build running in a web server using puppeteer in order to get the stories from the internal client storybook state store.

There’re use-cases of using this CLI command in CI environment and it’s a pretty much an overkill to get a puppeteer and run the whole build only to get the stories metadata.

The use case I’m using stories.json is for newly introduced composed storybook.

Raising this to discussion to see what the community thinks. I might be available to help out implementing something.

@dvh91 we are moving towards having storybook config be declarative & stories be declarative, parameters & decorators & args be declarative.

These are building blocks for being able to extract the stories.json out without using a browser.

We can’t do it -right now- but over time we’ll hopefully be able to deprecate the non-declarative methods, and extract all data via static analysis.
