Cannot find name 'bigint' about idx

Hi @mohsen1
I got that already. I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the issue. After all, this is a breaking change for TypeScript users and the version number is increased just as if it is a patch. It will break compilations all over the world and people will have to take action.

If you want to fix this, you can publish a minor release (2.6.0) or, even better a major release (3.0.0), then revert the change and make another patch to the older version (2.5.5). Additionally, this should be documented well to avoid further misunderstandings.

I just published [email protected] which includes #80. Thanks everyone!

You need to upgrade to TypeScript 3.2

[mohsen1]

With TypeScript and @types/ packages the stance is that your code will break with any change, including patch versions. idx is shipping it's own types so it's a bit different. That being said, the types here require some minimum version of TypeScript anyways. We're using conditional types that was introduced in TypeScript 3 for instance. We don't want to make TypeScript a peer dependency of idx either, you don't need to have TypeScript to use idx.

I'll leave it to package maintainers to decide. Removing 'bigint' will not break too many people vs. depending on at least [email protected]

I'm down to make the necessary changes for idx to be compatible with older versions of TypeScript, publish [email protected], and then revert those changes and publish [email protected].

Would either of you be down to make the minimal changes necessary for [email protected]?

Thanks @mohsen1 and @yungsters. It is most appreciated.
