## What it is
Histoire is a Vite-powered tool for building interactive component playgrounds (story books) for Vue and Svelte projects. It lets developers document components with stories and variants, visually test them in isolation, and auto-generate source code examples with a fast, themable interface.

## Use cases
- document vue components with stories
- storybook alternative for vue 3
- visually test svelte components in isolation
- browse a component catalog for my design system
- auto-generate component usage examples
- set up a component playground with vite
- preview ui components with controls and variants

## When to choose
- you use Vue 3 or Svelte with Vite and want a fast, no-config storybook-style playground
- you want automatic source code generation and auto-generated docs from component analysis
- you need a themable, dark-mode-friendly component documentation site

## When to avoid
- your project uses React, Angular, or Solid, which are not officially supported
- you need mature ecosystem plugins and addons available for Storybook
- your project does not use Vite as its build tool

- artifact type: library

- function: ui-components, documentation, developer-tools, testing, cli, web-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools, documentation
