Pinecone node js error: TypeError - PineconeClient is not a constructor

Question

I followed the docs: https://github.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-ts-client

I installed it via:

npm install @pinecone-database/pinecone

I've also set the following environmental variables:

PINECONE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
PINECONE_ENVIRONMENT="your_environment"

And then I have:

const PineconeClient = require('@pinecone-database/pinecone')
const pinecone = new PineconeClient();

But I'm getting the error:

TypeError - PineconeClient is not a constructor

Why is that the case? I'm following the docs but I'm getting the error?

The version of pinecone I have:

"@pinecone-database/pinecone": "^1.1.2"

And my node version is:

v20.9.0

const {Pinecone:PineconeClient} = require('@pinecone-database/pinecone') because the same docs has a sample snippet where the class is an attribute inside of what is imported... essentially, destructuring — The Bomb Squad

the example snippet should make calling new PineconeClient() work ;-; as it is an example of destructuring it with the variable name you desire... conversely you can also do const PineconeClient = require('@pinecone-database/pinecone').Pinecone as well — The Bomb Squad

.... @mark did you try what was suggested by the bomb squad? That's the solution you should try. — Phix

This worked.

const {Pinecone:PineconeClient} = require('@pinecone-database/pinecone') const pinecone = new PineconeClient({ apiKey: "key"});

The code below seems to work so far with no errors

import { Pinecone } from "@pinecone-database/pinecone";

let pinecone;

export async function initPinecone() {
  pinecone = new Pinecone({
    apiKey: process.env.PINECONE_API_KEY,
  });

  console.log("Pinecone initialized successfully.");
}
