Configures webpack/turbopack loaders to transform workflow code (`"use step"`/`"use workflow"` directives)

## Usage

To enable `"use step"` and `"use workflow"` directives while developing locally or deploying to production, wrap your `nextConfig` with `withWorkflow`.

```typescript title="next.config.ts" lineNumbers
import { withWorkflow } from "workflow/next"; // [!code highlight]
import type { NextConfig } from "next";
 
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  // … rest of your Next.js config
};

// not required but allows configuring workflow options
const workflowConfig = {} 

export default withWorkflow(nextConfig, workflowConfig); // [!code highlight]
```

If you are exporting a function in your `next.config` you will need to ensure you call the function returned from `withWorkflow`.

```typescript title="next.config.ts" lineNumbers
import { NextConfig } from "next";
import { withWorkflow } from "workflow/next";
import createNextIntlPlugin from "next-intl/plugin";

const withNextIntl = createNextIntlPlugin();

export default async function config(
  phase: string,
  ctx: {
    defaultConfig: NextConfig
  }
): Promise<NextConfig> {
  let nextConfig: NextConfig | typeof config = {};

  for (const configModifier of [withNextIntl, withWorkflow]) {
    nextConfig = configModifier(nextConfig);

    if (typeof nextConfig === "function") {
      nextConfig = await nextConfig(phase, ctx);
    }
  }
  return nextConfig;
}
```
