      Use Case

      As a driver engineer
      I want to add BigInt deserialization to js-bson
      So that users can make use of native JS BigInts

      Unknowns

      Acceptance Criteria

      Implementation Requirements

      • Ensure that when a BSON int64 value is encountered during deserialization, the output is controlled by the useBigInt64 flag. If true, then it should be converted to a BigInt, otherwise, it will retain the current behaviour of returning a BSON.Long
      • Ensure that useBigInt64 flag is false by default

      Testing Requirements

      • Check that flag supersedes promoteLongs and promoteValues effects on serialization of Longs.
      • Ensure that flag defaults to false
      • Ensure that when flag is false, previously implemented behaviour is unchanged
      • Ensure that examples in User-Facing syntax section of the design document are converted into unit tests

      Documentation Requirements

      • Update js-bson README to explain usage of useBigInt64 flag
