Describe the bug
It seems bottender has a hardwired path expecting an index.js in the same directory as you run the server.
I'm moving a project to typescript so the raw source is under src and I usually run in dev with ts-node
➜ server git:(move-to-ts) ✗ ts-node src/server.js
Error: Cannot find module '/Users/dc/dev/exiteer/xbot/server/index.js'

I'm wondering if there's a way to pass the routes file to botTender explicitly when starting up?
src/server.js
const bot = bottender({
dev: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
});
// the request handler of the bottender app
const handle = bot.getRequestHandler();
bot.prepare().then(() => {
const server = express();
botRouter.js
const { router, text, slack } = require('bottender/router')
const Dispatcher = require('./mup/Dispatcher')
const botRoutes = async function App () {
// Logger.log('init routes game', game)
const routes = router([
text(/^e$|^echo$/i, Dispatcher.echo),I'm not quite sure how to wire those things together, there seems to be some lazy loading going on with the routing currently.
Expected behavior
A more explicit way to startup a project, less magic requires happening behind the scenes...
This is mainly to support a project in typescript
