Enable module to work with Nitro `routeRules`

[AndersCV]

Describe the feature

Would it be possible to extend functionality so that /api/__api_party/${endpointId} routes can be cached in nitro by routeRules that we can define in nuxt.config.ts?

I don't have much knowledge about the inner workings of Nuxt and Nitro so maybe this is not possible to modules but it seems like this would be a great benefit.

Currently in my project I have a bunch for endpoints delivering some SEO content that I would like to cache for an extended period of time. Currently it doesn't seem possible to use the api-party composables fetch this data and have it cached by Nitro. This means I have to manually create endpoints in my server/api folder and use a mix of useFetch for cacheable endpoints and api-party composables for non-cachable endpoints which leads to a very confusing DX.

Great idea! I guess that would be possible, technically. An alternative to route rules would be a runtimeCacheStorage key, similar to the caching strategy by Nuxt OG Image.

Unfortunately, the feature exceeds my current use-cases and time for implementation is rare. Maybe I'll look into it another day. Until then: PR happily welcome. 🙂
