Please this address this issue it makes this not usable with TypeScript.

For anyone else running into this, I have a (hacky) workaround

Because this repo has a valid copy of the SDK, we can theoretically point npm at this repo instead of the copy of the module that lives on npm's servers.

However, because the actual npm package code lives in the PlayFabSdk subdirectory instead of the root of this git repo, you can't just point npm at this git repo.

Instead of directly listing this in your package.json dependencies, add this postinstall script to your package.json file.

scripts: {
    "postinstall": "mkdir playfab-sdk; cd playfab-sdk; git init; git remote add -f origin https://github.com/PlayFab/NodeSDK.git; git config core.sparseCheckout true; echo \"PlayFabSddkK\" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout; git pull --depth=1 origin master; cd ..; npm i ./playfab-sdk/PlayFabSdk/"
    ...
}

Short version: this creates a playfab-sdk folder in the root of your project, which contains a clone of this git repo that JUST has the PlayFabSdk subdirectory. From there, it installs the npm module located in that local folder, which will be the valid package located at https://github.com/PlayFab/NodeSDK/tree/master/PlayFabSdk.

Obviously a temporary solution, but for now this is working great for me.

Presumably, pegging your package.json to an older version of the lib would work as well, but I haven't gone through to figure out what the most recent still-functioning version is.
