Is there any way to automatically add defined routes at compile-time (or runtime) without having to explicitly add them in the application module definition?
Not only does it get tedious, it's also error prone if you forget to register a defined route. I assume it should be possible with code-generation or annotation processing such as kapt, but I'm wondering if anyone has already done something like this?

The documentation says it's deprecated and instead points to `Resources` plugin.

But from what I gathered from reading the `Resources` documentation, I'd have to put all routes in a certain hierarchy as inner/nested classes.

Afaik Kotlin has no way to externally create a nested class, right? That means that all routes in a single hierarchy would then need to be defined in a single file :disappointed:

You don’t have to use nested classes to define resources although you need to define a property in a child resource class to a parent resource class <https://ktor.io/docs/type-safe-routing.html#resource_nested>.
