How to integrate storybook into react-native package 'create-react-native-library'

Question

Hi i want to run storybook in a react-native package, that i have created with create-react-native-library.

So, the steps i ve done, in order to havethe package up and running are:

1. from the react-native documentation : https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-modules-setup
2. Run npx create-react-native-library@latest react-native-awesome-module // create a simple package
3. in the examplesfolder, run yarn start so it loads on the iPhone simulator.
4. Because it is a package and not an application, i want to have storybook inside it, so to visualize the components.
5. Install storybook like so: npx -p @storybook/cli sb init --type react

The yarn storybook command gives error like so: Error: Cannot find module 'react-dom/package.json'

I attach a screenshot for reference:

So, is there a way to integrate the storybook into this package ? Do i miss anything ? thanks

According to the Storybook for React Native | Documentation,

You have to specify the --type as react_native not react.

npx -p @storybook/cli sb init --type react_native
