VueForm not Working with Nuxt Layers

[jofmi]

Environment

nuxt 3.7.0
vueforms

Reproduction

• Create a nuxt app with a main app and a layer: https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/layers
• Follow the vueforms installation instructions in the layer
• Start the main app

Describe the bug

The app cannot be rendered because it is missing vueform.config.ts (since this file is sitting in the layer, and not in the main app).

The following error is shown: ERROR [nuxt] Could not compile template vueformPlugin.mjs.

Putting vueform.config.ts in the main app solves this error.

Additional context

Other nuxt packages like @nuxtjs/tailwindcss support that their config file is taken from the layer if no file is found in the main app. Alternatively, nuxt-ui adds its config to app.config.ts.

Isn't this in the Nuxt layers documentation?

Make sure any dependency imported in the layer is explicitly added to the dependencies. The nuxt dependency, and anything only used for testing the layer before publishing, should remain in the devDependencies field.
