Description
I have a data source with a column of BigInt numbers, however when I load the source into Sanddance I get the error
TypeError: Cannot convert a BigInt value to a number
I'm wondering if there's any interest or plans around supporting javascript's built-in BigInt primitive in the future. Cheers
