Research direction

Start with graphServiceClient.ts and the package.json files for @microsoft/msgraph-sdk and related packages, then reproduce the ESM install with pnpm 10 and the global virtual store. Check that the required Kiota packages are declared so a clean installation resolves the import without packageExtensions; the TypeScript ESM example should run successfully.

Description

status:waiting-for-triage ToTriage type:bug
Describe the bug

pnpm is very strict for peer dependencies.

@microsoft/msgraph-sdk depends on @microsoft/kiota-abstractions in graphServiceClient.ts:

import { apiClientProxifier } from '@microsoft/kiota-abstractions';

But does not declare it as dep/peer-dep in package.json so pnpm does not link them together by default.

Expected behavior

Should be able to use this library with ESM

How to reproduce

Install using pnpm 10 with Global Virtual Store:

pnpm config -g set enable-global-virtual-store true

pnpm install @microsoft/msgraph-sdk

Create a Typescript file, in ESM mode:

import { createGraphServiceClient } from "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk"

Error: Cannot find package '@microsoft/kiota-abstractions' imported from /home/danilo/.local/share/pnpm/store/v10/links/@microsoft/msgraph-sdk/1.0.0-preview.65/301ee8361a596b0be95f081b5c450df00457b5d3f04e31c01bc2a7d5f4db22f1/node_modules/@microsoft/msgraph-sdk/graphServiceClient.js
Did you mean to import "@microsoft/kiota-abstractions/dist/es/src/index.js"?

Known Workarounds

Add peerDependencies as overrides in package.json:

{
  "pnpm": {
    "packageExtensions": {
      "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk": {
        "peerDependencies": {
          "@microsoft/kiota-abstractions": ">=1.0.0-preview.96",
          "@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary": ">=1.0.0-preview.96"
        }
      },
      "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk-core": {
        "peerDependencies": {
          "@microsoft/kiota-abstractions": ">=1.0.0-preview.96",
          "@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary": ">=1.0.0-preview.96"
        }
      },
      "@microsoft/msgraph-sdk-users": {
        "peerDependencies": {
          "@microsoft/kiota-abstractions": ">=1.0.0-preview.96",
          "@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary": ">=1.0.0-preview.96"
        }
      }
    }
