Running kit-routes' codegen step as a one-shot command

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We're considering gitignoring lib/ROUTES.ts in our repo. But unfortunately it seems like the file is not generated by vite upon running vite build (fortunately our CI caught the mistake before we could deploy to prod!)

Gitignoring the file allows us to not have to run prettier after every update of the file (which ok, granted, is not that often, but still); reduces merge conflicts and "noise" in PR diffs. Leaving the file checked in allows for a nice summary of the routes that changed, but (to me at least) the fact that the +page.svelte were moved around + the fact that deadlinks are statically impossible anyway makes gitignoring it a better choice

Describe the solution you'd like

Either:

• Running kit-routes on vite build (arguably the better solution?)
• Providing us with a generate binary that we can add to our package.json "generate" script (which already has things like svelte-kit sync and houdini generate)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leaving the file checked into source control

Hummm, I'm reading reading, but didn't fully get it. (maybe too tired ^^)

A few questions in random order

• On vite build, ROUTES.ts should be generated today. It's not the case on your side ?
• Do you run npm run check in your CI? (after build?)
• I usually prettier ignore this file on my side. Would it be a solution for you?

Thanks for your input.

Okay so yeah i looked at it again, and yeah it's indeed because we run svelte-check before vite build

We should just invert the order i guess

Did you have time to look ? What should we do here ? (No hurry)
