feat(crnl): install nitro modules dependency automatically for local modules

[atlj]

Summary

• create-react-native-library will install react-native-nitro-modules automatically for local libraries.

Test plan

1. Create a new RN app
2. Build the bob repo
3. Link create-react-native-library to your RN app
4. Run create-react-native-library in the app
5. Answer yes when you're asked if you want to create a native module
6. Select Nitro Modules
7. Make sure react-native-nitro-modules is added to your app's dependencies.

I haven't tested this manually, but LGTM.

Couple of Qs:

1. How can I test this locally?
2. Does it install react-native-nitro-modules for both local modules and standalone libraries?

[renanmav]

nice

[renanmav]

Is bun supported?

[atlj]

We don't officially support bun right now. That being said, there is no real reason libraries bob generates shouldn't work with bun. It might require some changes tho.

1. How can I test this locally?

1. Checkout the code
2. Follow the development workflow to build create-react-native-library
3. Link the create-react-native-library binary you've built. I generally use yarn yarn link /path/to/bob/repo --all
4. Call the binary you've linked in an existing app.

2. Does it install react-native-nitro-modules for both local modules and standalone libraries?

That's a yes, react-native-nitro-modules is installed when the template is being generated on standalone modules.

Manually tested this branch on my machine. It works for the standalone library, but for local libraries it does not.

Check the screenshot below:

Here are my terminal prompts:

Local library

~/renanmav/react-native-builder-bob on  local-nitro-module-install-rnnm is 📦 (independent)
λ /Users/renanmav/renanmav/react-native-builder-bob/packages/create-react-native-library/bin/create-react-native-library
✔ Looks like you're under a project folder. Do you want to create a local library? … yes
✔ Where do you want to create the library? … ./react-native-nitro-local-library

✔ What is the description for the package? … test local library with nitro
✔ What type of library do you want to develop? › Nitro module
✔ Project created successfully at react-native-nitro-local-library!

Get started with the project:

- Link the library at react-native-nitro-local-library based on your project setup
- Run pod install --project-directory=ios to install dependencies with CocoaPods
- Run npx react-native run-android or npx react-native run-ios to build and run the app
- Import from react-native-nitro-local-library and use it in your app.

Good luck!

Also, looks like turbo module template is broken on CI.

@renanmav dependencies for local libraries have been added to the project's package.json - otherwise it won't work unless it's a monorepo.
