Feat: Automate Ziggy Type Generation

This pull request introduces a new development dependency, vite-plugin-run, to automatically generate Ziggy type
definitions whenever relevant files are modified. This ensures that TypeScript always has the latest route information,
improving type safety and developer experience.

Key changes:

  • Added vite-plugin-run: This Vite plugin allows running shell commands during development.
  • Configured vite.config.ts: The configuration now automatically executes php artisan ziggy:generate --types-only to
    create resources/js/types/ziggy.d.ts when changes are detected in config/ziggy.php or any file under the routes/
    directory.
  • Generated resources/js/types/ziggy.d.ts: The initial type definition file has been generated and included in this
    pull request.

Benefits:

  • Improved Type Safety: Ensures that the route() helper is always used with correct and up-to-date route names and
    parameters.
  • Enhanced Developer Experience: Provides autocompletion and type hinting for routes in the IDE, reducing the chance of
    typos and errors.
  • Automation: Eliminates the need to manually run the ziggy:generate command, streamlining the development workflow.
