React Query can't serialize cache with bigint values

[julia-script]

My app has many queries that return big int values. When I try to setup rn-better-dev-tools, the app throws "Warning: TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt"

would it be possible to use something like superjson to serialize and deserialize data sent to the external dev tools, or allow for custom stringify and parse functions on the options?

I'll fix this when I get some free time this week. But if you’d like, feel free to submit a PR for it in the meantime. You'll need to open one for this repo as well as the external sync repo here:

Sure, I can give it a shot

What would you prefer:

1. Setting up superjson (https://github.com/flightcontrolhq/superjson) which handles this and a bunch of other things
2. Create custom JSON.stringify and JSON.parse replacers to only handle bigints

I think the other suggestion I gave of adding stringify and parse options will not be viable because the functions would need to be accessible from both ends.

Personally I'd go with superjson which also handles other things like date objects, sets, maps, urls, even Errors, but you may not want to include another dependency

also, I see there's a third repo for demoing it https://github.com/LovesWorking/RN-Dev-Tools-Example.git
I see that react-query-external-sync and the demo app use npm and the other uses pnpm, which I assume will mess with pnpm linking for local development..how do you handle that?

I've had issues with npm link, so I stick to using yalc when I need live updates. If I’m not using yalc, my workflow is to build and pack the package using a script in the source repo, then manually install the generated .tgz file into the target repo. This has been the most reliable method for me.
