For me, it looks like there is no simple way to import a local package that is outside of the root of your React-Native project. So I figured out I just place my local components in a folder <code>local_components</code> within the react-native root project. Then, I can just <code>import X from ‘package-X’;</code> without having to touch the <code>package.json</code> of the react-native project.</p>
