Inconsistency between DAS API Documentation and Actual Implementation

[codewithmide]

Description

There is a significant discrepancy between the documented Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API methods and the actual implementation in the @metaplex-foundation/umi package. The documentation suggests the existence of methods like getAsset, getAssetProof, and getAssetsByOwner on the umi.rpc object, but these methods are not present in the actual RpcInterface.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the latest version of @metaplex-foundation/umi and @metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api.
2. Register the DAS API as per the documentation:

   import { dasApi } from '@metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api';
   umi.use(dasApi());

3. Attempt to use the DAS API methods as documented:

   const rpcAsset = await umi.rpc.getAsset(assetId);
   const rpcAssetProof = await umi.rpc.getAssetProof(assetId);
   const rpcAssetList = await umi.rpc.getAssetsByOwner({ owner: ownerAddress });

Expected Behavior

The umi.rpc object should contain the methods getAsset, getAssetProof, and getAssetsByOwner as described in the documentation.

Actual Behavior

TypeScript throws errors indicating that these methods do not exist on the RpcInterface.

Environment

• Node.js version: 18.20.4
• TypeScript version: 5.5.4
• @metaplex-foundation/umi version: 0.9.2
• @metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api version: 1.0.4

Additional Context

The documentation at (Fetching Compressed NFTs)[https://developers.metaplex.com/bubblegum/fetch-cnfts] suggests these methods should be available after registering the DAS API plugin. However, the actual implementation does not match this documentation, leading to confusion and implementation difficulties.

Possible Solutions

1. Update the RpcInterface to include these DAS API methods.
2. Update the documentation to accurately reflect the current implementation and provide clear instructions on how to use the DAS API methods if they are implemented differently.
3. If these methods are intended to be used differently, provide clear examples in the documentation.

Hey!
I have seen a similar behaviour today which was caused by specific tsconfig settings.
E.g. this tsconfig is working totally fine:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2016",                                  /* Set the JavaScript language version for emitted JavaScript and include compatible library declarations. */
    "module": "commonjs",                                /* Specify what module code is generated. */
    "rootDir": "./src",                                  /* Specify the root folder within your source files. */
    "outDir": "./dist",                                   /* Specify an output folder for all emitted files. */
    "esModuleInterop": true,                             /* Emit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' for type compatibility. */
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,            /* Ensure that casing is correct in imports. */
    "strict": true,                                      /* Enable all strict type-checking options. */
    "skipLibCheck": true                                 /* Skip type checking all .d.ts files. */
  }
}

are you able to share yours? I am currently looking to find out which specific settings are causing it to mitigate it.

Thank you!

Hi @MarkSackerberg I am having the same issue as @codewithmide too, this is my tsconfig.json file , maybe it has something to so with ESmodules?
