Execution Error: Cannot find module 'uuid/v4 in typescript ApiLambdaCrudDynamoDBExample

🐛 Bug Report

Error executing the create function in typescript/api-cors-lambda-crud-dynamodb project

What is the problem?

The RestApiCrudLambdaDynamoDB-createItem lambda function cannot be executed because cannot find module 'uuid/v4'.
The project deploys an API gateway integrated with lambda functions that execute simple CRUD on a DynamoDB table.

Reproduction Steps

Simply install, build, deploy, and test the function with API gateway:

  $ npm install
  $ npm run build
  $ cdk synth
  $ cdk deploy

When it's deployed, in the API gateway, test the POST method on /items/ resource. You can set body = {}

Verbose Log

From the lambda logs:

{
    "errorType": "Runtime.ImportModuleError",
    "errorMessage": "Error: Cannot find module 'uuid/v4'",
    "stack": [
        "Runtime.ImportModuleError: Error: Cannot find module 'uuid/v4'",

    ]
}

Environment

• CDK CLI Version: 1.75.0 (build 7708242)
• Example: api-cors-lambda-crud-dynamodb
• Example Version: fix: update typescript to >3.7 #207
• OS: OSX Catalina
• Language: Typescript

Other information

It seems a known problem
But I could not make it work.
I changed the require statement as mentioned in SO, but same result:

const {"v4": uuidv4} = require('uuid');

Probably it will work uploading manually the module, but I'd like to solve it with cdk.
