Hi, I'm trying to use a top level await in a module in a project I'm building with Vite and it fails. Using .then() works OK.
As I understand it, top level await only works in modules. When working in Vite in development mode, (npm run dev) are my module files compiled into a module-less format?

From my understanding there are two requirements for top level await to work
- tsconfig target should be a target that support esnext (e.g: esnext)
2.vite build target should have a target that support top level await
The build target is used when building, the tsconfig is used for both local dev & building

That's really useful, thanks. What target is used for dev if the entry point is a js file rather than a ts one?
