Make sure to append ";./node_modules/?/?.lua" to your package.path in a conf.ts file (this is run first) to assist where Lua looks for modules.

package.path += ";./node_modules/?/?.lua";

Also you need to add "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions" to tsconfig.json file.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": [
            "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions"
        ]
    }
}
