Unable to instantiate the EdgeGrid class in Typescript

[juananinca]

I'm using these versions:

• akamai-edgegrid: 3.5.2
• node: v20.12.2
• npm: 10.5.0
• typescript: 5.6.3

Here is where I'm instantiating the class EdgeGrid:

import EdgeGrid from "akamai-edgegrid";

const createEdgeGridClient = () => {
    const clientToken = process.env.AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN;
    const clientSecret = process.env.AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET;
    const accessToken = process.env.AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN;
    const baseUri = process.env.AKAMAI_BASE_URL;

    if (!clientToken || !clientSecret || !accessToken || !baseUri) {
        throw new Error("Missing Akamai EdgeGrid configuration environment variables");
    }

    return new EdgeGrid(clientToken, clientSecret, accessToken, baseUri);
}

But when I try to run project I get this message:

2025-02-19T14:15:11.333Z [error] akamai_edgegrid_1.EdgeGrid is not a constructor

Every example I've found in this repo or somewherelse is in javascript but nothing in Typescript.

Any help would be useful.

Hello @juananinca ,

thank you for rising this topic. We apologize for lack of TypeScript example. I will create an internal ticket to fill that gap.

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce your error. It seems that your code works on my environment. Could you try a different approach? I would recommend you to load API client from edgerc file:

let edgeGridClient = new EdgeGrid({
path: '/path/to/.edgerc',
section: 'section-header'
});

Please let me know if this helps.

Best regards,
Pawel

Hi @PawelSnoch,

Same result using the credentials file ".edgerc".

import EdgeGrid from 'akamai-edgegrid';

const createEdgeGridClient = () => {
    // const clientToken = process.env.AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN;
    // const clientSecret = process.env.AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET;
    // const accessToken = process.env.AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN;
    // const baseUri = process.env.AKAMAI_BASE_URL;

    // if (!clientToken || !clientSecret || !accessToken || !baseUri) {
    //     throw new Error("Missing Akamai EdgeGrid configuration environment variables");
    // }

    // return new EdgeGrid(clientToken, clientSecret, accessToken, baseUri);
    return new EdgeGrid({
        path: './.edgerc',
        section: 'default'
        });
}

output:
akamai_edgegrid_1.default is not a constructor

Hi @juananinca
We are still unable to reproduce your issue, could you please provide us more details?
File which is causing issues with obfuscated data would be greatly appreciated.
