The init-windows command will now stamp the template, name, and namespace arguments to the project's package.json file as follows: json { "react-native-windows": { "init-windows": { "name": "testcli", "namespace": "testcli", "template": "cpp-app", }, }, }
The config command (and therefore all other CLI commands) will now contain the contents of this new react-native-windows section in a new rnwConfig property.
Then, as per #13937:
The init-windows command will now use the previously saved arguments if they're available (and not otherwise overwritten by passed-in arguments)
If the template arg is missing (as it will be for all previously created projects) the config command will try to determine which template was used and inject it
Additionally, as per #13926:
The autolink-windows command will now use the template information to use the correct files when autolinking
Bonus, as per #13174:
The autolink-windows command will now include both the CPP and H file (the H file wasn't being regenerated before)
