Observed Behavior

The code specified in the documentation does not work. Throws an error. After making certain changes, it does work. Code sample provided below.
Link to documentation - https://pnp.github.io/pnpjs/graph/docs/sites/#create-item

Steps to Reproduce

// This is specified in the document, which doesn't work
import { graph } from "@pnp/graph";

const newItem = await graph.sites.getById('contoso.sharepoint.com').lists.getById('listId').items.create({
"fields": {
    "Title": "Widget",
    "Color": "Purple",
    "Weight": 32
  }
})

// This works, either the documentation or the code need to be changed
import { graph } from "@pnp/graph";

const newItem = await graph.sites.getById('contoso.sharepoint.com').lists.getById('listId').items.create({
    "Title": "Widget",
    "Color": "Purple",
    "Weight": 32
})

@Ramakrishnan24689 - I experienced same issue and below code worked for me.

Here is the issue link https://github.com/pnp/pnpjs/issues/755 which I raised earlier.

const newItem = await graph.sites.getById('contoso.sharepoint.com').lists.getById('listId').items.create(<any>{
    Title: "Widget",
    Color: "Purple",
    Weight: 32,
});

@narulasrinivas : The reason I posted this is to fix the documentation gap or issue. A workaround was posted in my initial conversation as well. Thank you.

@Ramakrishnan24689 - Sorry my bad. I missed out that bit. This change is going to be updated in v2 version docs.
