feature request: local project files in siteConfig.scripts & siteConfig.stylesheets

[zenflow]

We want to include our library distributable in the pages of our documentation site to demonstrate it. There's also a 3rd-party (vendor) script in the node_modules dir that we need to include (to make the indicated code blocks "executable").

Is there a nice way to include local project files in siteConfig.scripts that are outside the ./website/static/ dir?

Right now I'm copying the needed files into ./website/static/vendor at the beginning of every script (start, build, publish), and adding that dir to .gitignore, but it feels hacky.

I propose we treat relative paths in siteConfig.scripts & siteConfig.stylesheets as relative to the location of siteConfig.js and copy those files into the build.

Would the maintainers welcome a PR to add this?

I think this is a reasonable suggestion. PR welcome!

In future we might want to move to a bundler like webpack, rollup or parcel though.
