Contribute this to upstream

It'll be great to improve the react-native create-library the command. Any plans to contribute this to upstream?

I would love that and this is definitely something I want to do, but I'm not sure if it's stable enough for that just yet. The reason this is a separate repository is mostly because I wanted a "safe" space to experiment with some ideas and I wasn't sure if my approach might be too opinionated.

It would be also be great if the generated project included a few example ReactMethods and simple implementations in Java, Objective-C, and Windows.

This would really help developers get going quickly and result in many new native modules being built:

My Wish List:

• A ReactMethod version function that just returns a version string "1.2.3" or something.
• A ReactMethod add math function that takes a ReadableMap as an input.

Input: { a: 4, b: 2 }

and returns a map

Output: { a: 4, b: 2, result: 6 }

• A ReactMethod demonstrating use of a callback
• A ReactMethod demonstrating use of a Promise
• An index.js to expose the example ReactMethod's to JS.
• An /example/ app with a react-native project that uses all example ReactMethod's

Thank you for sharing your work!

I spent nearly 2-weeks just getting an Android native module and example project going by copying various patterns used by react-native-fs and others. This tools will be a great help.

I may start all over using your tool since creating the iOS project could waste another week!
