Repository navigation
build-weak-node-api requires Ninja #95
Description
Currently, when trying to build and run the example app, you need to navigate to packages/react-native-node-api-modules and run:
npm run copy-node-api-headers
npm run build-weak-node-api
npm run generate-weak-node-api-injectorUnfortunately the second step (build-weak-node-api) requires Ninja to build the weak-node-api. I would suggest to make the CLI check if Ninja is present and if not, then silently fallback to Makefile. It don't think that Ninja should be a required dependency, but optional. It only makes the build process faster.

I'd be okay with making it optional to ease the development of the project and I'd prefer if we add a flag to opt into that behavior, instead of silently falling back on a different generator.

I've created a draft PR to fix this, but Unix Makefiles are failing on me 🙄
