@nrwl/react:library and @nrwl/react:appication generators update package versions in root package.json

[sarahquigley]

Current Behavior

We are using @nrwl/react:library and @nrwl/react:appication generators in our nx monorepo. When we run these generators, a bunch of package versions in our monorepo root package.json are updated unexpectedly. If kept, these changes break our project build. We tried adding skipPackageJson but this had no effect.

This image shows an example of the changes we're seeing in package.json.

Expected Behavior

When running these generators, either:

• package versions in root package.json should not be changed. OR
• there should be an option to suppress updates to package versions in root package.json

i think this is intended. pass in the flag --skipPackageJson=true skipPackageJson when generating library and application, it will not update deps in package.json
