The project doesn't running with deps in "DEPENDECIES"

[pedrocandidozup]

I look for the projects @gioboa is providing in the github, but all the projects you put all dependecies in "devDependecies" for the project work, e.g:

https://github.com/gioboa/react-microfrontends-spotify/blob/main/host/package.json

Is the same for me in the projects, when I putting some deps in "dependencies" is shown the error

and If I stay "react" in "dependecies" the error is shown
The entry point "react" cannot be marked as externa

In your repository @gioboa, when I put "react" in dependecies in the same error is shown
The entry point "react" cannot be marked as external and when I put the whatever other depeds in "dependencies" is show the same error

[pedrocandidozup]

Is the same for the Example Module Federation the project doesn't work because "react" is stay in dependencies
when I put in the devDependencies the error is gone, but in my project here for the project is running I need to put all my deps in devDependencies

Hi! For solving The entry point "react" cannot be marked as external see my answer in this issue #16 (comment)

For suppress pre-transform error, try to set server.preTransformRequests to false in vite config. Looks like we don't need deps pre-transformation because it's work of adapter.

[pedrocandidozup]

@sedx yes, after that, I tried to removed "react" at vite.config, but I think it not the best solutions..

I will try use "server.preTransformRequests"

We are working on a new version that will definitely solves this. @ScriptedAlchemy did a big step forward, he did the official esbuild adapter and the runtime loaders too.
