Description of the problem

I'm using typescript, It basically works, but it doesn't load the type declarations.

Cannot find module 'xxx' or its corresponding type declarations.

In the package.json file of the library, the location of the type declarations is defined. In the local environment (with vscode), it can correctly find the type definition, but not in the CodeSandBox.

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I can use this library on CodeSandBox in a JavaScript environment, but I want to be able to take advantage of TypeScript's type inference capabilities.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem in the linked sandbox at /src/index.ts, then compare its TypeScript module resolution with the library's package.json type-declaration location and the reported local VS Code behavior. Done means the library's declarations resolve in the CodeSandbox TypeScript environment without the reported error.
