Add dependencies and libraries

Adding dependencies to your module

You can add dependencies by running yarn add within your module definition directory.

cd modules/react-native-example
yarn add react-native-share
rm yarn.lock

This adds react-native-share to your package.json dependencies property.

Adding libraries (Autolinking)

For any library that includes native code (Android, iOS, or both) you must move the dependency on the package.json to the x-dependencies property. Any x-dependencies entry is installed directly in the root package.json of your app.

This is required due to a current limitation within react-native when resolving sub-dependencies while also linking native code.
