Description

Hi, I try to use the useStorage functionality from nitro to access the KV-Storage in the middleware.

1. Initialized storage in a nitro plugin
2. Added nitropack to noExternal list.
3. Tried to load storage in middleware via useStorage.

With a native Nitro Server the storage works as expected.

Please provide the exception or error you saw

middleware/storage.ts: Cannot find module '#nitro-internal-virtual/storage' imported from '/home/projects/bnmiobkvzq.github/node_modules/nitropack/dist/runtime/internal/storage.mjs'

Other information

Maybe it is a small issue with the SSR Configuration.

I would be willing to submit a PR to fix this issue

In development, useStorage works in API routes because Nitro is only loaded under the /api path. If you do a build and run the server, it should work correctly because Nitro is in front.
