Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against storybook@10.6.0. JSON

No JS entry point No JavaScript entry point

storybook does not expose a JavaScript entry point in package.json. It is likely a CLI, a stylesheet, a type-definition package, or an asset bundle, so require() and import are not the way to use it.
