CLI Should work on Node 16 and NPM 7/8 about blui-cli HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm curious if we can get this to work by listing the underlying CLI packages as dependencies instead of running them via NPX.

from blui-cli.

We can get by without any cli changes if we let users know to install the respective underlying cli package via the npx --package flag.

angular: npx -p @brightlayer-ui/cli@beta --package=@angular/cli blui new --framework=angular
react: npx -p @brightlayer-ui/cli@beta --package=create-react-app blui new --framework=react
react-native: npx -p @brightlayer-ui/cli@beta --package=react-native blui new --framework=react-native

However, the create-react-app and react-native packages automatically use the latest react version which causes some peer dependency issues with react v18 when generating the project. This requires the end user to downgrade the react and react-dom dependencies back to ^17.0.0.

This makes me think, and agree with @joebochill's comment, that we can just add the cli dependencies to our CLI to solve this issue for now. This will need to be optimized in the future because the end-user will be installing all 3 underlying CLI's regardless of which framework they are using for their generated project.
