introduce -exact flag in the create-api command

[krunalsshah]

currently the create-api appends react-native-.+-api to the apiName. instead it would be nicer to have to exact flag
Problem : ern create-api my-api results in react-native-my-api-api
Enhancement : using exact flag it could just be generated as package my-api

@belemaire @deepueg thoughts?

The API name provided by the user to create-api command should be the name that is used (and added in the ern package.json object as moduleName). This is the same experience as create-miniapp.

The problem I see here and that we discussed, is that if I specify the name WeatherApi, then the prompted package name suggestion will be weather-api-api which is ... bad.

That being said, this is the right name ... because it's more intuitive and looks better to call in Android or iOS or JS WeatherApi.requests. ... rather than Weather.requests. ....

Two things I would suggest here :

1. If the module name that the user provide to command, is not suffixed by Api, suggest the user to suffix the Api through a prompt.

i.e, something like

$ ern create-api Weather
> To follow naming conventions we suggest suffixing the name of your API with Api
> Do you want to name the Api as WeatherApi rather than Weather ? Y/n

If the module name provided by the user is already suffixed by Api, then do not prompt.

2. If the module name that the user provide (or modified by prompt) is suffixed by Api, do not add -api suffix for package name to avoid -api-api crap.

Does it makes sense ?

BTW for point 2. the same should be applied for create-miniapp and create-api-impl

Just re-did the Getting Started guide and when I ran ern create-miniapp MovieListMiniApp it propose a package name as : movie-list-mini-app-miniapp :(

So let's make point 2. a specific issue.

We should create an issue for point 2. (Do not add module suffix in name if already present) covering create-miniapp, create-api and create-api-impl and create another issue for point 1. covering create-miniapp, create-api and create-api-impl as well.
