Sourced from bson's releases.

v4.2.1

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 4.2.1 of the bson module!

This patch includes additional 'inspect' methods on each BSON type class that makes printing out values consistent and readable.

Bug

• NODE-2846 - Missing function overload type for EJSON.stringify
• NODE-2847 - bson does not expose a default export
• NODE-2848 - bson@4.2.0 breaks serialization with bson@1.x

Task

• NODE-2844 - Add downlevel-dts to our BSON type definitions pipeline
• NODE-2875 - Add correct inspect methods for BSON Types
• NODE-2845 - Make Long class alias methods into methods rather than properties

Documentation

• API: https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson#readme
• Changelog: https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson/blob/master/HISTORY.md#change-log

We invite you to try the bson library immediately, and report any issues to the NODE project. Thanks very much to all the community members who contributed to this release!

Release Highlights

Convert code base to Typescript

Before this release we have converted the codebase to Typescript and you can find our bundled type definitions in the release. Converting to Typescript gave us an opportunity to fine tune our build pipeline, you should expect proper web bundle support with sourcemaps. If you were to ever encounter an issue or just want to get insight into the inner workings of the BSON library these sourcemaps will allow you to debug the original source code that is in typescript.

If you’re curious about Typescript take a look here.

A primary reason for converting to typescript is the first in class developer experience the language offers. It enables us to communicate APIs more succinctly to you the user and for you the user to benefit from excellent autocompletion and code intellisence while working with the BSON library.

BigInt support

BigInt is a new primitive type added to the ECMAScript specification, with this release you can use these new Long helpers to serialize BigInt(s) to BSON.

class Long {
  // ...
  /**
   * Returns a Long representing the given value, provided that it is a finite number.  Otherwise, zero is returned.
   * @param value - The number in question
</tr></table> ... (truncated)
