Call typescript library from commonjs typescript application

Question

I've built a create-probot-app generator for NX. At the moment I'm testing whether I'd be able to share code from a typescript library. However, this doesn't seem to work.

The application MUST BE compiled to CommonJS or probot run will not work.

PS C:\repos\tttt\ccc> npm start -- --project issue-greeter    

> [email protected] start
> nx serve --project issue-greeter


 >  NX   Running target serve for project issue-greeter and 2 tasks it depends on:

> nx run issue-greeter:build  [existing outputs match the cache, left as is]


> nx run issue-greeter:serve

nx g @nx/js:library greeter --buildable --publishable --import-path=@example/greeter

However, when I try to run the project (npm start -- --project issue-greeter or npx probot run ./dist/apps/issue-greeter/src/index.js), I get the following error:

Cannot find module '@example/greeter'

PS C:\repos\tttt\ccc> npx probot run ./dist/apps/issue-greeter/src/index.js

  const err = new Error(message);

}

If I could get this to work, I'd be able to share code inside a monorepo that contains several github bots. But I don't seem to be able to call my library from the Probot app (which is commonjs).
