TypeError do not know how to serialize a BigInt

[Soros87]

Whenever I open Redux DevTool chrome extension to inspect the store, I get this error.

VM1161:1 Uncaught TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

We're hitting this as well - our store contains bigints. This is likely the same problem as preactjs/preact-devtools#454

I ended up solving this by passing the following config when setting up devtools:

serialize: {
  replacer: (_key, value) => (typeof value === "bigint" ? value.toString() : value),
},

how can i get that working when using composeWithDevTools ?

I tried doing this and even putting a debugger on it but it never gets called.

I use redux-dynamic-modules and my setup looks like this:

import { createStore } from 'redux-dynamic-modules';
import { composeWithDevTools } from 'redux-devtools-extension/developmentOnly';

const store = createStore(
    {
      advancedComposeEnhancers: composeWithDevTools({
        maxAge: 500,
        trace: true,
        serialize: {
          function: (_key: any, value: any) => {
            debugger; // never gets called
            return typeof value === 'bigint' ? value.toString() : value;
          },
        },
      }),
    },
  );

ok found another solution :

BigInt.prototype.toJSON = function() { return this.toString() }

ok its just wrong typing, the first solution already works, just had to disabled typescript in that line
