Locate approvals files in subfolder

[ThHareau]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
approvals files are located next to the test file. When the number of tests grows, the directory will become bigger and bigger.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, it would be possible to give in the namer options a boolean which would move the files inside a sub folder, for example _approvals. This way, we could directly distinguish test files from approval files.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
For example, jest snapshot testing uses the subfolder __snapshot__.

Hi!
It's good to see you. If I'm not mistaken, Namer should solve your problem.
But when I raised your issue, I realized that I should pay attention to the documentation issue and indicate this possibility there.
Please try to check here:
https://github.com/approvals/ApprovalTests.Dart/tree/main/test
All files are located in the approved_files folder.
As an example:
Approvals.verify -> options -> namer

// Leave null if you want to use the default path.
namer:  Namer(
                options: FileNamerOptions(
                  folderPath: 'test/approved_files',
                  testName: 'test name',
                  fileName: 'approval_test',
                  description: description,
                ),
              ),

I think this is not exactly what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is a simple way to globally move the generated files inside a subfolder, so that next tests are simple to create.

I was thinking of a global factory which would provide the Namer, thus my proposition of having a new option in Namer like : Namer(useSubfolder: true).

FileNamerOptions looks very good for specific cases, but for general cases I don't think it is ideal.

Don't worry about the documentation 😉 , I tend to look at the source code directly when I'm looking for an answer and I missed the FileNamerOptions actually

Okay, I get you. I'll try to come up with something over the weekend and solve it)
