Add an artisan command to output the javascript to a file for inclusion

In case someone wanted to add this to their build process, we could have a command:

php artisan ziggy:generate

which saves the output of the script into a file wrapped in an importable module.

We could even include a sample watcher so your build tool watches the routes files for changes and then re-runs the command when necessary.

@ctf0 Same issue. It’s easy enough (although requires you to allow them to customize WHICH files are the routes files) to have PHP check a route file to see if it has changed since the last time it was checked.

But what’s not built in to Laravel–other than in Elixir/Mix, which already have tooling for this–is watching files for modifications.

Don’t stress. This is actually going to be relatively simple–you’ll love it once you see it. We just need to write it. 😃

@DanielCoulbourne Cool. Glad it’s useful, it was fun to work on. 😃
