Loader responses for "non-components"

I've seen a few conversations around how to generate things like

sitemap.xml

sitemap.xml

sitemap.xml

sitemap.xml and

robots.txt

robots.txt

robots.txt

robots.txt, with the best approach so far being to create an API route (eg.

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap) with a Nitro redirect (

/sitemap.xml

/sitemap.xml

/sitemap.xml

/sitemap.xml =>

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap

/api/sitemap). This works okay-ish.

This made me think, have you considered allowing

Response

Response

objects to be returned from a file route's

loader

loader

? If it is a

Response

Response

object, the whole component tree can be ignored in favour of the

Response

Response

.

This approach would allow creating dynamic sitemaps and similar files quite trivially.
