Bug report

• [ X ] I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
• [ X ] I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.

Describe the bug

I can't import the Google library into my Deno edge function:

import {
    GoogleGenerativeAI,
    HarmBlockThreshold,
    HarmCategory,
} from require("npm:@google/generative-ai@0.21.0");

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

Try importing in any Supabase edge function.

Expected behavior

It should import fine.

System information

• OS: MacOS
• Browser (if applies) Chrome
• Version of supabase-js: 2.47.10
• Version of Node.js: 20.12.2

I don't think you have to add the "require" method.
Here's how I import my libraries in edge functions:

import { createClient } from "jsr:@supabase/supabase-js@2";

import Stripe from "npm:stripe@^17.3.1";

As mentioned earlier, the issue seems to be with require. You should be able to use Google on Edge Functions. I've provided a simple example below:

import "jsr:@supabase/functions-js/edge-runtime.d.ts";
import { GoogleGenAI } from "npm:@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
});

Deno.serve(async () => {
  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: "Explain how AI works in a few words",
  });

  const data = {
    message: `AI said "${response.text}!"`,
  };

  return new Response(
    JSON.stringify(data),
    { headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } },
  );
});

This issue should be safe to close as it is not a bug with supabase/supabase-js
