Configuration

Lookbook uses your ViewComponent config so it normally doesn’t need any additional configuration to know where to look for your components and preview classes etc. However there are a number of Lookbook-specific configuration options that you may want to use.

Configuring Lookbook

You can add Lookbook configuration in your config/application.rb file, an initializer or anywhere else you handle your Rails app configuration.

# config/application.rb
module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # other app config...
    config.lookbook.project_name = "Lookbook Demo"
  end
end

Common Options

Below are a few of the most commonly used configuration options. For the complete list of options check out the configuration API docs.

project_name

  • Type: String
  • Default: "Lookbook"

The name of your project. Displayed in the Lookbook header.

config.lookbook.project_name = "Lookbook Demo"

debug_menu
