adding /storybook.json endpoint

[benzaita]

Allows enumeration of the stories and integration with tools such as BackstopJS, Gemini.

Hi @benzaita
It's a cool idea but I think we can do this using an addon.
We recently added custom middleware support with #435

[benzaita]

Thanks. I'll look into the custom middleware approach

[thani-sh]

Awesome! let me know if you need any help :)

Hi @mnmtanish ,

I am afraid the compiler instance is not passed to the custom middleware - which is needed to be able to serve the up-to-date storybook object in the endpoint.

Am I missing something?

[thani-sh]

I'll see if there's anything I can do on storybook side? or if there's some other way

[ndelangen]

@benzaita I'm interested in expanding the integration-abilities, so what would you need passed to you in the middleware? which compiler?

[benzaita]

@ndelangen that would be the compiler instance created by Webpack

[ndelangen]

Ah! I see, I'll think about the consequences in passing that around.

[ndelangen]

@benzaita I'm really sorry for keeping this PR open for so long without any progress on our part.

I would be OK with merging this is if were rebased on master, would that be something you're willing to do?

[benzaita]

Sure @ndelangen! Will do.

[ndelangen]

Fantastic!
