Option to rename index files

[taylorfsteele]

When working with file-based routing, the default way to create a path that matches the directory name is to create an index.tsx file within that directory:

.
└── /routes/
    ├── /posts/
    │   └── index.tsx (/posts)
    ├── __root.tsx
    └── index.tsx

I personally find organizing routes and files this way really intuitive and I love getting all the benefits from bundlers when you have file based routing. However, it can be challenging to find the correct index.tsx file when searching or navigating within the project, since there will be potentially many index.tsx files.

SolidStart's file router features an option to rename these types of files to a customized name, while still retaining this path matching.

.
└── /routes/
    ├── /posts/
    │   └── (posts).tsx (/posts)

It would be great to rename or customize these index files for better search and navigation ergonomics. Potential ideas include:

• Parentheses in file names as index files (Solid's approach)
• Allow customization of index/route files
  • E.g., posts_index.tsx or something similar
  • Would work well if you wanted to support something similar for route files
