user.customData is not returning data in proper JSON format

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

After login user.customData should return the data in proper json formats.

But receiving the data in E-JSON format. See stats property:

{
    "_id": "62efedca3587e6e83c0fc675",
    "lastName": "",
    "firstName": "Ahmad",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "",
    "company": "",
    "optNewsLetter": true,
    "id": "62f013361798f5d543a7fa52",
    "verified": true,
    "acceptedTermsDate": "08/08/2022, 00:30:22",
    "acStatus": null,
    "acId": null,
    "managedUsers": [],
    "stats": {
        "appStartCount": {
            "$numberInt": "13"
        },
        "batchRunExportCount": {
            "$numberInt": "1"
        },
        "testRunCount": {
            "success": {
                "$numberInt": "12"
            },
            "failed": {
                "$numberInt": "2"
            }
        }
    }
}

Expected: It should return data in proper json or should provide toArray() method like mongodb-nodejs package provides

Thanks for reporting this. I believe we have the same issue in the Realm Web SDK.

@kraenhansen Any idea when it will be fixed?

[matt2legit]

We have the same issue in the Web SDK. I found a work around, but it's not awesome.

import { EJSON } from 'bson';

const appStartCount = EJSON.deserialize(user.customData.stats.appStartCount);

Custom user data can be a generic MongoDB document, and returning BSON data will capture all types.
