Description
Checking out the project and pnpm i and pnpm run dev throws the following error:
✘ [ERROR] "unocss/vite" resolved to an ESM file. ESM file cannot be loaded by require. See https://vitejs.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#this-package-is-esm-only for more details. [plugin externalize-deps]
I was able to fix by adding
"type": "module", to the playground package.json
