unplugin-auto-import/vite can't use object's method in template

Question

When using unplugin-auto-import in a Vite project to automatically import dependencies, the _.isArray function from a file (src/utils/lodash.ts) is working correctly in the script context but fails in the template.

Minimal code:

<script setup lang="ts">
console.log(isArray) // this works
</script>

<template>
{{ _.isArray }} <!-- this doesn't work -->
</template>

The issue manifests as follows:

In the script section (), _.isArray is correctly imported and works as expected. In the template section (), _.isArray results in unexpected behavior.
