Discussion: require both keep and remove options for flags for non-interactive command line usage

[wilau2]

Reading the readme, I was under the impression that: react-native clean-project was interactive and that react-native-clean-project + flags would be non-interactive.

Should we have options supporting both keep & remove something for all flags in order to be able to use it from the command line without interactions?

react-native-clean-project --keep-brew --keep-pods --keep-iOS-build --keep-android-build

example:

const askAndroid = () =>
  new Promise(resolve => {
    if (args.includes('--remove-android-build')) {
      wipeAndroidBuild = true;
      return resolve();
    }
    if (args.includes('--keep-android-build')) {
      wipeAndroidBuild = false;
      return resolve();
    }
    return askQuestion('Wipe android build folder? (Y/n) ', answer => {
      wipeAndroidBuild = checkAnswer(answer, askAndroid, resolve);
    });
  });

it's so lovely to have. i actually got kinda shocked a while ago when i put react-native-clean-project with current available options, and on/off flags to some of them (which i carelessly thought they existed; something like --remove-iOS-build=false) for a script, but of course it showed prompts, though i wanted it to finished automatically.
you've already closed your PR in #30, but it looked better than nothing for me. hopefully it's reopened and merged, or someone will make another PR because i don't think i have some time to make my own PR for this around now.

Hello!

I'd like to bring attention to this discussion once again. It would be so nice to have fully non-interactive execution while still having full control over the options.

As for now when running this command it still asks questions about pods and pods' cache:
react-native-clean-project --remove-iOS-build --remove-android-build --clean-android-project --keep-node-modules --keep-brew --keep-pods

any update ? We have case that we don't develop for IOS, so I remove all ios dependency ( folder ) which cause this to error
