I'm trying to use deno with astro, but i have one issue when importing

import { defineCollection } from 'astro:content';

The ide is crying with this error :

Uncached or missing remote URL: astro:contentdeno(no-cache)

How can i handle it?

What package is this? It would be surprising (but not surprising) if npm packages allowed colons in the name. I can't find this one though.

I believe it's a virtual module set up by astro's vite plugin.

They have type declarations for it https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/df0c5665c1c1bbbaa878d01bca28d6558762ea00/packages/astro/templates/content/types.d.ts#L20, but the actual module doesn't exist until the vite plugin supplies it
