React-native: [feature request] Add purge cache option to "react-native bundle" command
Hi,
It cost me over an hour to figure out why my pre-bundle js not get updated after some code changes, it's because "react-native bundle" command is using caches. I find where the cache is by using the "--verbose" option.
The command line help doesn't provide any option relates to the cache used, it will confuse people who meet the same issue.

@skatou Thanks, for reporting good to see I'm not alone with this issue.
I also wasted few hours on it until found this thread.
@fov42550564 thanks, deleting the cache worked for me.
Any plans for permanent solution?

While there is no command to ONLY clear the cache, nor an argument for the bundle command, the packager now can clear cache at startup.
react-native start --reset-cache
It would be a great PR to separate this functionality into a separate command!
Closing this issue as we're trying to clean up issues and focus only on bugs. Thanks for bringing it up!
