Vue.js + TypeScript build error, `Could not find a declaration file for module '@aws-amplify/ui'`

Vue.js + TypeScript + AWS Amplify, I encountered the following error. Could not find types file. Is this error default behavior ? Is there a way to avoid this error?

For those currently watching this ticket, Amplify UI has released a new package for Vue components: @aws-amplify/ui-vue (additionally, aws-amplify-vue is no longer maintained).

You can find the package here and the documentation here, please let us know if it meets your needs!
