Build NuGet License: MIT

Storybook-like component explorer for Avalonia UI. Develop, preview, and interact with your Avalonia controls in isolation.

Features

  • Live preview — render controls in an interactive canvas with viewport presets and theme switching
  • Hot reload — automatically reload stories when assemblies are rebuilt
  • Sidebar navigation — browse stories by category with search filtering
  • Properties panel — interactively edit story state at runtime
  • Log panel — diagnostic output and error reporting
  • Cross-platform — runs on Linux and Windows

Quick Start

1. Install Awen

Download a pre-built binary from GitHub Releases, or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/ryandanthony/awen.git
cd awen
dotnet build

2. Add the SDK

Install the Awen.Sdk NuGet package in your stories project:

dotnet add package Awen.Sdk

3. Register Your Assembly

Create an AssemblyInfo.cs in your stories project:

using Awen.Sdk;

[assembly: AwenStoryAssembly("My Controls")]

4. Write a Story

Implement the IStory<TControl, TStoryProperties> interface to define a previewable component scenario:

public class PrimaryButtonStory : IStory<PrimaryButtonPreview, PrimaryButtonProperties>
{
    public string Name => "Primary Button";
    public string Group => "Buttons";
    // ...
}

5. Run Awen

Awen --dir ./MyControls.Stories/bin/Debug/net10.0/

CLI Usage

Awen --dir <path> [--watch] [--no-watch] [--theme <light|dark>] [--filter <pattern>]
Option Description
--dir <path> Required. Directory containing compiled story assemblies.
--watch Enable hot-reload (default: true).
--no-watch Disable hot-reload.
--theme <variant> Initial theme — light or dark.
--filter <pattern> Filter stories by name or group path.
