Webpack can't resolve vue in node_modules/vue-template-compiler - vue.js

Question

I have a simple Typescript project with this code:
import {
parseComponent,
compile as compileTemplate,
ASTElement,
} from "vue-template-compiler";
...
I compile it using tsc with:
"target": "es2020",
"module": "commonjs",
And it gives code like this:
const vue_template_compiler_1 = require("vue-template-compiler");
In my package.json I have this:
"dependencies": {
"vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.12"
But I don't have "vue", because I don't need all of Vue - just the template compiler.
This all works fine, but I'm trying to use Webpack to bundle everyone into a single file. However, when I run webpack I get this error:
ERROR in ./node_modules/vue-template-compiler/index.js 2:19-41
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'vue' in '/path/to/myproject/node_modules/vue-template-compiler'
# ./build/analysis.js 8:32-64
# ./build/index.js 8:19-40
This corresponds to the require("vue-template-checker") line. Why do I get this error?
Here's my webpack.config.js:
const path = require("path");
const webpack = require("webpack");
module.exports = {
target: "node",
entry: "./build/index.js",
mode: "production",
output: {
filename: "index.js",
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
},
plugins: [
new webpack.BannerPlugin({ banner: "#!/usr/bin/env node", raw: true }),
],
};

That module makes Vue version check during import. I guess, you want to skip that check. I would try aliasing. Something like:
module.exports = {
// ...
resolve: {
alias: {
'vue-template-compiler$': 'vue-template-compiler/build.js'
}
}
}
