Component metadata

Assets in a component can be more than CSS and JavaScript files; you may have icons or images too.

To print them in a component’s Twig file, you must know the path where the component folder is. SDC automatically injects into every component the componentMetadata variable, which contains some information about the component itself:

If you have an assets folder in your component with an icon.png file in it, you can print the icon using code like the following:

<img src="/{{ componentMetadata.path }}/assets/icon.png" />

Now that we have our set of components, we can expose them to Storybook.
