Can't resolve module paths in parent directories

I use lerna for mono-repo, and here is my folder structures:

monorepo
  |-- lerna.json
  |-- packages/
  |     |-- foo/                # module `@foo`
  |-- apps/
        |-- react-native-app/   # react-native project
              |-- package.json

In my react-native-app project, I use local module @foo by lerna, and lerna will make a symlink in the apps/react-native-app/node_modules.

After running react-native start, it failed to bundle the js code:

error: bundling failed: "Unable to resolve module `@foo` from `{path_to_file}`: Module does not exist in the module map

This might be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968
To resolve try the following:
  1. Clear watchman watches: `watchman watch-del-all`.
  2. Delete the `node_modules` folder: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`.
  3. Reset packager cache: `rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-*` or `npm start -- --reset-cache`."

To resolve this, I need to add --root when bundling to search the paths for symlink in the node_modules by lerna:

$ react-native start --root ../../packages

Now, I can’t find a way to pass search paths to storybook node server.

$ storybook -p 7007 --root ../../packages

  error: unknown option `--root'

How can I use local lerna modules with storybook?

Yes, my plan is to take an inventory of what options you can pass react-native start and make them work with the storybook cli.

Yes but it likely will not be till next week at some time that I can do so.
