How to get autoCodeSplitting lazy loading built into the generatedRouteTree file outside of dev mode or production build

[jedwards1211]

It seems like autoCodeSplitting: true only generates lazy loading for the in-memory files in dev mode or the production output.

I want a generatedRouteTree file to have the lazy imports so that I can import my router directly in Node to use buildLocation, without the overhead of loading virtually all of my React component modules, or having to use a transpiler or bundler to keep node from crashing on the .tsx imports in the generated route tree file.

Is there any way to do this?

There ought to be an easy, lightweight way to get a typesafe buildLocation function in Node when doing file-based routing.

If it were up to me I would use code-based routing since this would be easy to accomplish with code-based routing, but unfortunately some of my colleagues prefer the convenience of file-based routing despite its downsides.

autoCodeSplitting only works with a supported bundler.

I don't like that, I hope that will not always be the case.
TanStack router could provide an option to output a generated route tree file that dynamically imports the route components when autoCodeSplitting is enabled. so that if we directly import that file in Node to use only the buildLocation method, it doesn't actually have to load any of the route components.
