browser-only packages (e.g. plotly.js) can't work in solid-start, even when SSR disabled

[urish]

First of all, Solid is awesome! I have been using it for two days now and I love it.

I created a repo that reproduces the issue: https://github.com/urish/solid-start-plotly-ssr-issue

The first commit (urish/solid-start-plotly-ssr-issue@26e5b11a4c68313b094c41fb309622b96ec7a6da) is just the clean state after running npm create solid, selecting bare, ssr disabled, and typescript enabled.

The second commit (urish/solid-start-plotly-ssr-issue@45a79fb2566cd23d98f9a07e3f0780ad1044dfe4) adds plotly.js and a simple <Graph> component that loads plotly and create a simple plot with it.

When you run npm run dev, you get the following error message:

As far as I understand, the issue is that solid-start/vite tries to load the package in node.js, and this package was only meant for the browser.

I also tried loading the <Graph> component as lazy, but the problem persist.

Happy to provide any other information you find helpful.
