I'm trying to use the PlayFab SDK for the web in a TypeScript project. I installed the package with:

npm install playfab-web-sdk

Then, when I try to import the module:

import * as PlayFab from "playfab-web-sdk";

I get the following error:

Error: Failed to resolve entry for package "playfab-web-sdk".

I tested importing the playfab-sdk package (which is mainly intended for server-side use) with:

npm install playfab-sdk

This one works fine, and I can import it in my TypeScript code without issues.

I compared the sources of both SDKs:

playfab-sdk seems complete :

playfab-web-sdk looks incomplete (but maybe I'm mistaken?) :

The issue indicates that there may not be a legitimate entry point in the playfab-web-sdk package.JSON.

1. Running npm list playfab-web-sdk or cat node_modules/playfab-web-sdk/package.json will allow you to verify this.

If "main" or "module" are absent or misspelled, the package may not be set up correctly for direct import.

2. Employ a Direct Import Path (Short-Term Solution) Try importing the module using a relative path as the package might not expose a correct module entry:

import * as PlayFab from "./node_modules/playfab-web-sdk/PlayFabClientApi";
