Description
I would like to have the skipPackageJson flag when generating a React application (+ skipping the installation as well)
Motivation
I would like to use NX as the main building tool in a monorepo which will include both Angular and React apps, While I respect the "Single-version policy" my needs requires having a separated deployment of each app and I'm testing a use of NX with npm-workspaces in order to be able to manage my projects packages eassily. So each time I'll use the nx generators for generating a new app I wouldn't want it to add the dependencies on the root's repo package.json.
Alternatively I could generate an app directly under the /packages using my own scripts but I'll need to handle tweaking the nx config files (workspace.json) and add a project.json template and I would rather have that by using nx ootb generators if possible. Another option would be to use the app generator and "cleaning" the package.json afterwards myself.
Suggested Implementation
There's the "skipPackageJson" flag for Angular (which isn't working at the moment btw) having such for React could be great.
