Description

Describe the bug

When using module: "esnext and moduleResolution: "bundler" in TypeScript, the types cannot be imported.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set module to "esnext" and moduleResolution to "bundler" in tsconfig.json
  2. Add "types": ["@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/types/vue"]
  3. See an error appear:
Cannot find type definition file for '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/types/vue'.

Additional information

The docs tell to use "types": ["@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/types/vue"] for Vue + TypeScript, but it doesn't work in this specific scenario. Not really sure why.

I'm using shoelace 2.20.1 and typescript 5.8.3

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the package.json `exports` field and verify that the types path is correctly mapped for bundler moduleResolution. Inspect the TypeScript configuration needed for proper import resolution.
