nodenext file resolution: Type error TS2307 Cannot find module 'mini-van-plate/van-plate' or its corresponding type declarations.

[btakita]

When importing mini-van-plate/van-plate from a package with the tsconfig.json:

{
	"compileOnSave": true,
	"compilerOptions": {
		"module": "ESNext",
		"moduleResolution": "nodenext",
		"target": "ESNext",
		"strict": true
	},
	"exclude": [
		"node_modules"
	],
	"references": []
}

The following error occurs:

Type error TS2307
  Cannot find module 'mini-van-plate/van-plate' or its corresponding type declarations.

See the workaround to resolve this issue. As far as I know, it's the simpler one of two solutions. Basically, you have to have the source files in the root directory (no src/ directory), add files: to package.json, & have "moduleResolution": "nodenext" in tsconfig.json.

Similar issues were raised (#2, #4) before. I think #2 (comment) is the solution.
