React-native storybook without dev. server

Question

I am using the react-native storybook. (https://github.com/storybookjs/react-native#storybook-for-react-native).
With some dev. server there is a nice overview for the storybook. My question is:

Is it possible to render the react-native storybook in the app without any dev. server.?
If yes, how?

Answer 1

If you think you want to list and display the components created in a web view, so that it is shareable without running the app in dev mode, you should look for storybook server option.

Answer 2

yes, you can render the react-native storybook in the app without any webpack dev server

you need to install @storybook/react-native package and follow the Docs
