• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem description

It's not currently possible to build a svelte app using Vite with Electron Forge. It'd be super cool if that was possible. Forge doesn't work with @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte.

Proposed solution

I'm not sure what would be required, but I'd like to be able to use Svelte + Vite + Electron + Forge. Right now, you can't import @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte because it's an ESM only module.

Alternatives considered

I'm currently using electron-vite, but I'd feel safer working with a Forge since it has a larger community backing it.

I provide a Forge + Vite + Svelte sample here. 👉 https://github.com/caoxiemeihao/electron-vite-samples/tree/main/forge-svelte

BTW, Perhaps the next version of @forge/template-vite will support ESM fully, I'm currently testing the feasibility of ESM in electron-vite-vue.

I've provided samples for esm.
