Doesn't work with Vite 3 (1)

[brillout]

The React module node_modules/@apollo/client/react/ is being imported for Vue projects. I can't fathom why that is: the entire repository (see reproduction) has not a single occurrence of the word "react".

Since React is not installed (which is expected), the React dependency cannot be resolved.

Reproduction: https://github.com/brillout/graphql-apollo_vite-3_bug-1.

This is an accident of history (backwards compatibility) that will undoubtedly be improved in AC4 (the next major version), and is currently tracked in this issue: #8190

In the meantime, instead of importing from the top-level @apollo/client package (which regrettably includes @apollo/client/react), you can import from @apollo/client/core (which does not). In case that doesn't work, importing explicitly from the @apollo/client/core/index.js module may do the trick. I don't think Vite requires the explicit index.js module, but that trick may be useful with other bundlers.

Thanks @benjamn!

@brillout Since this is tracked in #8190 how would you feel about me closing this out for now?

@benjamn Thanks for the answer. And how about #9834 (comment)?
