Describe the bug

Rollup supports passing RegExp | RegExp[] to the external option, see https://rollupjs.org/configuration-options/#external

Vite doesn't. It only supports string[] | true. I need the regex variant for Deno support as dependencies typically have this format which includes the semver version: npm:preact@^10.27.1. The semver part is different among dependencies. To exclude all deps I would need something like /^npm:*/

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";

export default defineConfig({
  environments: {
    ssr: {
      resolve: {
        external: [/^npm:*/],
      },
    },
  },
});
