Dynamically importing dependency modules

[privatenumber]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to dynamically import language files in highlight.js:

import.meta.glob(`highlight.js/lib/languages/*.js`)

However, I get the following error:

[plugin:vite:import-analysis] Invalid glob import syntax: pattern must start with "." or "/" (relative to project root)

This works, but the results aren't very nice:

import.meta.glob(`../../node_modules/highlight.js/lib/languages/*`);

Describe the solution you'd like

For the following API to work:

import.meta.glob(`highlight.js/lib/languages/*.js`)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually hard-coding dynamic imports for each language.

Additional context
Would also be nice if Vite could display a warning if the dynamic import glob has 0 matches. Since it's kinda failing silently, I didn't realize I had the wrong path for a while.

It seems that vite 2.0.x doesn't support globbing from node_modules.

vite/packages/vite/src/node/importGlob.ts

Lines 59 to 62 in 2b19e3c

	const files = glob.sync(pattern, {
	cwd: base,
	ignore: ['**/node_modules/**']
	})

Therefore, does the following API need support? @yyx990803

import.meta.glob(`highlight.js/lib/languages/*.js`)

I want this feature, too
I plan to use asyncComponent to lazy load component in dependency modules

As another workaround, you can create a symlink to the dependency

Seems like this is implemented by #6056.
