FR: Avoid using bigint literal syntax to target older browsers

Open mman opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

One of my projects targets very old specialised browsers, and when readable-stream dependency is brought in the webpack produced code fails to run because of SyntaxError here:

https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream/blob/a2e9aedf4aeee4a5e4d8efcb175edb67e2817eaa/src/errors.js#L339-L340

Turns out that specialised browser based on WebKit can not parse bigint literals.

I'm not sure if I am missing something but I was not able to find a solution to transpile the bigint literals correctly to target older browsers.

But turns out that the fix could be to avoid bigint literal and use BigInt constructor.
