Current examples show generated assets imported via contentlayer/generated, which is aliased via paths in the tsconfig.json. Many folks will already alias their root directory (for instance, shadcn ui projects are generated with the alias @/[subdir]). One could forgo the second alias and instead import from @/.contentlayer/generated, however it's a bit clunky. Ideally one could configure the output directory to enable a more minimal import specifier (@/content perhaps). Any chance we could reopen this issue?
