Reproduction

Don't know how to simulate nuxt layer in stackblitz.

• Created a Nuxt component library using @nuxt/ui.
• Used the alias #ui/types to import types within the library.
• published via a private gitlab package
• Integrated the library into another Nuxt project via Nuxt layers/extends.
• Attempt to build or run the project.

Description

We have a Nuxt app powered by @nuxt/ui, which is a custom component library. This component library is integrated via Nuxt layers in different Nuxt projects.
When working inside the component library, we import types using the alias:

import type { Button, ButtonVariant } from '#ui/types'

However, once the library is integrated into a project via Nuxt layers/extends, the import fails with the following error:

Pre-transform error: [@vue/compiler-sfc] Failed to resolve import source "#ui/types".

Using a direct import works in the extended project but is not recognized in the current app:

import type { Button, ButtonVariant } from '@nuxt/ui/dist/runtime/types'

Is their a good way to make this import work in both the current and the layer app?

This should work using #ui/types as it's exactly what we're doing with @nuxt/ui-pro (which is a layer).

Does your layer install the @nuxt/ui module?

I'm afraid I'm not gonna be much help without a reproduction.
