ui.frontend node_modules import

I have export of js , which is part of node_modules/ui-foundation-star

I used below statement in main.ts to import specific js function

import {scopecomponent} from '@ui-foundation-star/scope'

scopecomponent('project-name');

This works fine in my local. but on gitlab pipeline above import statement looks for node_modules and at relative path below /webpack etc and says could not find it.

Question: Is the way i am importing is correct? if so, why it is not working in gitlab but working in local aem.
