Stack: Svelte 5 / Sveltekit / Filepond

I’m getting what seems to be a false positive for a missing Filepond dependency in my Sveltekit app and I can’t make it go away.

In a custom svelte component I’m importing Filepond like so:

import FilePond, { registerPlugin } from 'svelte-filepond';

Error: Cannot find module ‘svelte-filepond’ or its corresponding type declarations

Filepond is showing up in my app despite the error warning.

My package.json seems fine:

"dependencies": {
        "filepond": "^4.31.1",
        "filepond-plugin-image-exif-orientation": "^1.0.11",
        "filepond-plugin-image-preview": "^4.6.12",
        "svelte-filepond": "^0.2.2",
    }

tsconfig:

{
    "extends": "./.svelte-kit/tsconfig.json",
    "compilerOptions": {
        "allowJs": true,
        "checkJs": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
        "resolveJsonModule": true,
        "skipLibCheck": true,
        "sourceMap": true,
        "strict": true,
        "moduleResolution": "bundler"
    },
}

vite.config:

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [sveltekit()],
    test: {
        include: ['src/**/*.{test,spec}.{js,ts}']
    }
});

svelte.config:

/** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').Config} */
const config = {
    preprocess: vitePreprocess(),

    kit: {
        adapter: adapter()
    }
};

export default config;

Things I’ve tried:

• delete node_modules & .svelte-kit folders & reload
• run npm check
• run npm build

Could it be that Filepond isn’t yet compatible with Svelte 5?
