I ran into this error today, my first idea is that "BigInt" is weird because I'm using typescript?

Example data: { big: BigInt(0) }

Error:

str = JSON.stringify(obj, options.isJSON ? null : replacer, options.space);
                   ^
TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

This repo seems quiet so I'll just post why and close:

Because big is nested in an object, it doesn't go deeper and so BigInt is never serialized

Nop, it DOES go deeper with replacer; however, no other bigint but 0n passes through the replacer without being serialized due to the following condition, which returns the 0n directly.

serialize-javascript/index.js

Lines 86 to 88 in 343abd9

    
           if (!value && value !== undefined) { 
        
               return value; 
        
           }

Other bigints are serialized as expected.

Also see #154

BigInt not supported but it has been since v4
