I just need to return simple JSON response for /api/status: { "ok": true }

Something like:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    route: ('/api/status', (req, res) => {
      res.end(JSON.stringify({ ok: true }))
    })
  }
})

Vite has the proxy option, but I don’t want to manually start and stop another server every time I run Vite.
