Check tsconfig moduleResolution

If like me, you happened to change the tsconfig module from es5 to esnext or something, then the moduleResolution default may have changed.

Without moduleResolution being set to "node", typescript will not resolve node_modules packages.

You can read on the Compiler Options page about how the default value depends on the value of module, whose default in turn depends on target — but probably set it to "node" explicitly.
