Plus1 this for us

Just wondering if there have been any advances on this?

We did review other data types and potential workarounds, but as https://www.mongodb.com/developer/products/mongodb/bson-data-types-decimal128/ mentions, Decimal128 is the only way when dealing with monetary values...

The challenge here is that dart doesn't have a native decimal type, which means that it's a substantial amount of effort to expose this in a meaningful way. We're exploring some options, but because of the complexities, this will likely be released after some of the lower-hanging features (e.g. AnyRealmValue and maps).

thanks for the update @nirinchev and good to hear its on the way

[dotjon0]

amazing! Thanks sooooo much!

I think I may have seen decimal128 is now supported (?), if yes when are you planning to release this?

[nielsenko]

I had hoped for this week, but that probably won't happen. But I'll eat my old cap if we don't release next week.

[dotjon0]
