Setting up the package in a monorepo leads to issues. The generateRoutes function in src/generate_routes.ts uses a node_modules/@izzyjs/route/build/src/client path which does not work for a monorepo because monorepos have their node_modules in the root and not in the package or app folder where adonis is being used and installed.

The initial setup command, node ace add @izzyjs/route also resulted in some weird issues initially when I run it in the app in my monorepo, it was somehow adding the package to the package.json file but not installing in node_modules. I manually installed the package by running yarn install in the root of the monorepo but when I run the initial setup command again, I realized that it actually deleted the package installed from the node_modules, not sure why.

So I manually installed the package and went through the configure.ts to configure the rest of the application and it worked only that now, I am not able to get the node ace izzy:routes command to work because of the node_modules issue.

For now, I might have to patch the package locally, and use a workaround of setting the baseDir this way: const baseDir = '../../node_modules/@izzyjs/route/build/src/client'; which allows me to point to my root node_modules.
