 ## Using Your Existing Config
 
 You may have an existing Webpack config for your project. So, you may need to copy and paste some config items into Storybook's custom Webpack config file.
 
 But you don't need to. There are a few options:
 
--   Simply import your main Webpack config into Storybook's `webpack.config.js` and use the loaders and plugins used in that.
--   Create a new file with common Webpack options and use it in both inside the main Webpack config and inside Storybook's `webpack.config.js`.

+This is a central reference for using Storybook with Typescript.
+
+## Dependencies you may need
+
+```bash
+yarn add -D typescript
+yarn add -D awesome-typescript-loader
+yarn add -D @storybook/addon-info react-docgen-typescript-webpack-plugin # optional but recommended
+yarn add -D jest "@types/jest" ts-jest #testing
+```
+
+We have had the best experience using `awesome-typescript-loader`, but other tutorials may use `ts-loader`, just configure accordingly. You can even use `babel-loader` with a `ts-loader` configuration.
+
+## Setting up Typescript to work with Storybook
+
+We first have to use the [custom Webpack config in full control mode, extending default configs](/configurations/custom-webpack-config/#full-control-mode--default):
+
+```js
+const path = require("path");
+const TSDocgenPlugin = require("react-docgen-typescript-webpack-plugin");
+module.exports = (baseConfig, env, config) => {
+  config.module.rules.push({
+    test: /\.(ts|tsx)$/,
+    loader: require.resolve("awesome-typescript-loader")
+  });
+  config.plugins.push(new TSDocgenPlugin()); // optional
+  config.resolve.extensions.push(".ts", ".tsx");
+  return config;
+};
+```
+
+The above example shows a working config with the TSDocgen plugin also integrated; remove the optional sections if you don't plan on using them.
+
+## `tsconfig.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "outDir": "build/lib",
+    "module": "commonjs",
+    "target": "es5",
+    "lib": ["es5", "es6", "es7", "es2017", "dom"],
+    "sourceMap": true,
+    "allowJs": false,
+    "jsx": "react",
+    "moduleResolution": "node",
+    "rootDirs": ["src", "stories"],
+    "baseUrl": "src",
+    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
+    "noImplicitReturns": true,
+    "noImplicitThis": true,
+    "noImplicitAny": true,
+    "strictNullChecks": true,
+    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
+    "noUnusedLocals": true,
+    "declaration": true,
+    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
+    "experimentalDecorators": true
+  },
+  "include": ["src/**/*"],
+  "exclude": ["node_modules", "build", "scripts"]
+}
+```
+
+This is for the default configuration where `/stories` is a peer of `src`. If you have them all in just `src` you may wish to replace `"rootDirs": ["src", "stories"]` above with `"rootDir": "src",`.
+
+## Using Typescript with the TSDocgen addon
+
+The very handy [Storybook Info addon](https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/tree/master/addons/info) autogenerates prop tables documentation for each component, however it doesn't work with Typescript types. The current solution is to use [react-docgen-typescript-loader](https://github.com/strothj/react-docgen-typescript-loader) to preprocess the Typescript files to give the Info addon what it needs. The webpack config above does this, and so for the rest of your stories you use it as per normal:
+
+```js
+import React from "react";
+import { storiesOf } from "@storybook/react";
+import { withInfo } from "@storybook/addon-info";
+import { action } from "@storybook/addon-actions";
+import TicTacToeCell from "./TicTacToeCell";
+
+const stories = storiesOf("Components", module);
+
+stories.add(
+  "TicTacToeCell",
+  withInfo({ inline: true })(() => <TicTacToeCell value="X" position={{ x: 0, y: 0 }} onClick={action("onClick")} />)
+);
+```
+
+## Customizing Type annotations/descriptions
+
+Please refer to the [react-docgen-typescript-loader](https://github.com/strothj/react-docgen-typescript-loader) docs for writing prop descriptions and other annotations to your Typescript interfaces.
+
+Additional annotation can be achieved by creating a `wInfo` higher order component:
+
+```js
+import { withInfo } from "@storybook/addon-info";
+const wInfoStyle = {
+  header: {
+    h1: {
+      marginRight: "20px",
+      fontSize: "25px",
+      display: "inline"
+    },
+    body: {
+      paddingTop: 0,
+      paddingBottom: 0
+    },
+    h2: {
+      display: "inline",
+      color: "#999"
+    }
+  },
+  infoBody: {
+    backgroundColor: "#eee",
+    padding: "0px 5px",
+    lineHeight: "2"
+  }
+};
+export const wInfo = text => withInfo({ inline: true, source: false, styles: wInfoStyle, text: text });
+```
+
+This can be used like so:
+
+```js
+import React from "react";
+
+import { storiesOf } from "@storybook/react";
+import { PrimaryButton } from "./Button";
+import { wInfo } from "../../utils";
+import { text, select, boolean } from "@storybook/addon-knobs/react";
+
+storiesOf("Components/Button", module).addWithJSX(
+  "basic PrimaryButton",
+  wInfo(`
+
+  ### Notes
+
+  light button seen on <https://zpl.io/aM49ZBd>
+
+  ### Usage
+  ~~~js
+  <PrimaryButton
+    label={text('label', 'Enroll')}
+    disabled={boolean('disabled',false)}
+    onClick={() => alert('hello there')}
+  />
+  ~~~
+
+`)(() => (
+    <PrimaryButton
+      label={text("label", "Enroll")}
+      disabled={boolean("disabled", false)}
+      onClick={() => alert("hello there")}
+    />
+  ))
+);
+```
+
+And this is how it looks:

+
+Note: Component docgen information can not be generated for components that are only exported as default. You can work around the issue by exporting the component using a named export.
+
+## Setting up Jest tests
+
+The ts-jest [README](https://github.com/kulshekhar/ts-jest) explains pretty clearly how to get Jest to recognize TypeScript code.
+
+This is an example package.json config for jest:
+
+```json
+"jest": {
+  "transform": {
+    ".(ts|tsx)": "<rootDir>/node_modules/ts-jest/preprocessor.js"
+  },
+  "mapCoverage": true,
+  "testPathIgnorePatterns": [
+    "/node_modules/",
+    "/lib/"
+  ],
+  "testRegex": "(/test/.*|\\.(test|spec))\\.(ts|tsx|js)$",
+  "moduleFileExtensions": [
+    "ts",
+    "tsx",
+    "js",
+    "json"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Building your Typescript Storybook
+
+You will need to set up some scripts - these may help:
+
+```json
+  "scripts": {
+    "start": "react-scripts-ts start",
+    "build": "npm run lint && npm run build-lib && build-storybook",
+    "build-lib-watch": "tsc -w",
+    "build-lib": "tsc && npm run copy-css-to-lib && npm run copy-svg-to-lib && npm run copy-png-to-lib && npm run copy-woff2-to-lib",
+    "test": "react-scripts-ts test --env=jsdom",
+    "test:coverage": "npm test -- --coverage",
+    "eject": "react-scripts-ts eject",
+    "storybook": "start-storybook -p 6006",
+    "build-storybook": "build-storybook",
+    "copy-css-to-lib": "cpx \"./src/**/*.css\" ./build/lib",
+    "copy-woff2-to-lib": "cpx \"./src/**/*.woff2\" ./build/lib",
+    "copy-svg-to-lib": "cpx \"./src/**/*.svg\" ./build/lib",
+    "copy-png-to-lib": "cpx \"./src/**/*.png\" ./build/lib",
+    "lint": "tslint -c tslint.json 'src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'"
+  },
+```
