Discrepancies in Typescript declarations about replicache

• PullRequest should not really parameterized. That was an internal implementation detail that leaked. cookie should always be ReadonlyJSONValue which already includes null.

• We do not want to support Date. These are things that are JSON as specified on https://json.org. We only want things that round trip. We do not actually use JSON.stringify or toJSON any more.

I don't understand this. I'm working with TS in strict mode and I'm not allowing the any type. If PullRequest is an implementation detail that was leaked, how am I to use req.body? By recreating my own type from the documentation?

That's fair, but how do you suggest working with dates? Should I manually (de)serialize them within my own code?

PullRequest is not an implementation detail. The thing that was a mistake to "leak" was the type parameter. cookie should always be ReadonlyJSONValue. This has been fixed for the next release. Sorry for the confusion.
