I wanted to add a paragraph on the Local Module setup, but it is currently broken. Metro can't follow the symlinks that yarn generates and it can't pick up the JS files from the other folder.
Probably there is a way to make it work by tinkering with the metro.config.js, but I don't think we should go to that level of details in these guides, so I decided to leave that setup out for simplicity. There is a way to test the library anyway.
cc. @huntie if you know how to handle this case in a simple way.

We already have this page:
https://reactnative.dev/docs/next/legacy/native-modules-setup
Which can instead be revived and used for both arch no?

| The React Native community produced an amazing tool to scaffold a new library: the [`create-react-native-library`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-builder-bob/create) tool. This tool sets up a new library with all the boilerplate code that is needed: all the configuration files and all files required by the various platforms. It also comes with a nice interactive menu to guide you through the creation of the library. |

Yeah, that's what I did. This guide is a revamp of that one, and it is in the right spot:
The instructions works in the same way for both architectures. I can generalize it further to make it read better also for the old architecture. |
