Feature request: Export 'sprites' folder in custom Kit package.json

[Marvellanius]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

On our project we want to use a Kit as a single source of truth for both our project and design system (in Figma). We currently have a solution built around an SVG Symbol approach, and wanted to use the Kit in that way, expecting to be able to use the generated symbol in the package as the base.

Since this symbol isn't in the package.json exports object, we cannot import the symbol as we would like.

Adding this as a Feature Request and not a Bug, as I expect this is a conscious decision and not an oversight. If this was an oversight, I guess this should have been made as a Bug Issue.

Feature description

Include the sprites folder in the package.json exports object, so the generated sprite-files become available for import in application code.

Alternatives

We've considered writing a script that, similarly to what we do now without a Kit, builds a sprite based on the icons we want to add (which is all the icons in a Kit). This would honestly defeat a decent portion of our purpose with a Kit (less code to maintain), but is a viable option. It would make us question why there's a sprites folder included in the package at all.

I have encountered this same problem trying to import the svg sprite from my custom kit.
