You want to use module varname in a browser context. To achieve that you should use page.addScriptTag() to inject varname to browser like this:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.addScriptTag({ path: './node_modules/varname/build/varname.js' });
    const generalInfo = await page.evaluate(() => {
        return window.varname.camelback('foo_bar_baz');
    });

    console.log(generalInfo); // prints fooBarBaz
    await browser.close();
})();
