Error parsing string with `useNativeBigInt` mode

[hdoan741]

It seems the parser is incorrect when parsing fractional number:

> jsbi({useNativeBigInt: true}).parse('-0.3333333333333333')
Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot convert -0.3333333333333333 to a BigInt

I don't think this is an error. You can't parse a decimal into a bigint in JS. You should probably only be using useNativeBigInt: true if you're 100% sure that your payload won't have decimals in it.

This issue was fixed in this PR 3530541. However, the latest version on npm was released before this fix. To use the updated version, I temporarily added the package like this in my project:

    "dependencies": {
        "json-bigint": "github:sidorares/json-bigint#8208aa1352eba252b60756672ab7c17f300d6ccd"
    }

@sidorares any chance a 1.0.1 could be released with the changes from the PR mentioned above by @mois-ilya ?

hey @nathanmmiller I'm on vacations this week and hope to finally give issues in this repo some attention. I plan to setup release-please, once added all merged changes should be immediately published

[nathanmmiller]

Amazing, thank you @sidorares - I think I may have another weird edge case but don't want to raise an issue (or PR) until I know the updated code doesn't fix it. I look forward!

Any chance this is coming soon? Thanks!

@sidorares can you release this please?

[SkylerLutz]

@sidorares can you please release this?

[flbn]

can we please make a new release? lib has been stale on npm for years now :|

[nathanmmiller]

I think this is abandonware at this point. Is anyone using alternatives and if so, what?

If not, @sidorares would you prefer someone else take over this library?

[scastrec]

Hi,
Will a new version be published ?
Thanks

@nathanmmiller
Regarding alternatives, you might want to try my library that does the same thing and doesn't have this issue. As a bonus, it also supports round-trip operations, works with TypeScript, and you can just replace every JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() call in your project with its functions (JSONStringify() and JSONParse() respectively), among other features:
