Vite Plugin Pagefiles

Vite plugin that statically extracts metadata from React component files and generates client-side route declarations, currently at version 0.4.2 (pre-release, API unstable). Instead of file-system-based routing, this plugin allows developers to define routes inline within component files using a Meta export, providing flexibility in code organization. It generates a virtual module 'virtual:pagefiles' containing route configurations. Currently supports React only, but extensible to other frameworks. Releases are on GitHub but no fixed cadence. Key differentiator: route metadata lives inside the component file, not the file path, decoupling URL structure from file organization.
