node.js - Module vom Projektstamm importieren (Node 18 + TS + ESM)

Ich versuche, ein Modul aus meinem Node-Projektstamm zu importieren, anstatt einen relativen Pfad zu verwenden.
Ich benutze Node 18, ESM, Typescript und führe es mit ts-node-esm aus.

Code :

// import { number } from './check.js' // works
import { number } from 'check.js' // does not work

console.log(number)

Fehler :

~/Code/ts-esm (main)*$ yarn dev
yarn run v1.22.19

Ich habe die Option rootDir zu meiner tsconfig hinzugefügt:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": [ "es6", "es2021", "es2022" ],
    "module": "ES2022",
    "target": "ES2021",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "outDir": "dist"
  }
}

Wie kann ich es machen? Ich habe ein minimales reproduzierbares Beispiel erstellt: Repo
