Adds support for
toObject({ longs: BigInt }), which converts longs to native BigInts.This is structured as opt-in so that hopefully it can be shipped in a minor update without having to wait for a 8.x release.
I tested performance of conversion using both
DataView.getBig(U)Int64and plain bitwise arithmetic: https://jsbench.me/1lljqc4kd7/2 The DataView version was faster, but since getBig(U)Int64 is a relatively more recent addition, I provided a fallback for environments that don't support it.See also:
Motivation:
Currently we are maintaining a patch for protobufjs in foxglove/studio. In order to publish some of these packages to NPM, we replace the patch with something that can actually be shipped in
dependencies.
