React Native: npm link local dependency, unable to resolve module

The npm link command doesn’t work because React Native packager doesn’t support symlinks.

After a little research, I discovered that there are two ways to go about it.

1. Use haul packager in the example app. Haul supports symlinks, so you can use npm link as usual.
2. Use local dependency via file:../ and then edit files in node_modules folder or reinstall every time you make changes.

I found Haul to work great for this use-case and even set-up a little starter project that also includes storybook, which is really helpful if you have many components to switch between.
