+ *   MyModule.swift:
+ *
+ *       @objc(MyModule) class MyModule: NSObject {
+ *

+ *   MyModuleExport.m:
+ *
+ *      #import "RCTBridgeModule.h"
+ *
+ *      @interface RCT_EXTERN_MODULE(MyModule, NSObject)
+ *
+ *      RCT_EXTERN_METHOD(doSomething:(NSString *)string withA:(NSInteger)a andB:(NSInteger)b)
+ *
+ *      @end
+ *
+ *  this will now expose MyModule and the method to JavaScript via `NativeModules.MyModule.doSomething`
