      Use Case

      As a driver engineer
      I want to add BigInt64 deserialization to js-bson
      So that users can make use of native JS BigInt64s

      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 BigInt64, otherwise, it will retain the current behaviour of returning a pair of BSON.Longs

      Testing Requirements

      • Unit tests that directly inspect binary output of BSON.serialize when passed BigInt64 values and compares them to known cases
      • 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

      Documentation Requirements

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