What is the current behavior? i make a component symlink to my project directory. when i try to import that symlink i got error unable to resolve

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.

make a seperate component outside the project

@TimothyJAveni I have made package for tangible symlink https://www.npmjs.com/package/mtsl.

mtsl add -s ~/source-dir -d ~/User/destination-dir
mtsl start 0

you can use this package whenever metro maintainers do not give a good solution
