### Problem description
When I run my electron app that has some top-level await code and is bundled using the vite plugin, I get the following message in my console:
```
✓ 493 modules transformed.
Module format "cjs" does not support top-level await. Use the "es" or "system" output formats rather.
file: /home/hab25/my/work/react-electron-poc/src/main.ts
```
### Proposed solution
Implementing this probably means implementing the following TODO:
