Declaration file not being created

[andredewaard]

Following your exact tutorial on how to create this. When importing the component into a new project i get the error that there is no declaration file found.

Could not find a declaration file for module 'blocks-ui'. '/blocks-ui/dist/blocks-ui.umd.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.   Try `npm i --save-dev @types/blocks-ui` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'blocks-ui';`

Nevermind :( forgot about "types": "./dist/main.d.ts", inside package.json. didnt know that triggered Vite to create the declaration file.
