v2.5.6

Framework 2.5.6 Release​

🆕 Feature: Automatic Serialization of Non-Serializable Data Types

Problem​

Previously, if a Godspeed event handler or datasource returned a response containing non-JSON-serializable data types like BigInt, Date, Function, or Error, it could cause:

  • TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

Solution​

Godspeed now includes built-in response sanitization and serialization logic at the framework level. All event handler responses (GSStatus) are automatically sanitized before being sent, ensuring they are JSON-safe and reliable across all transport layers.

Key Improvements​

  • Added a try-catch, right before returning the eventHandlerStatus in the processEvent method of godspeed class.
  • Automatic conversion of: BigInt → string Date → ISO string Symbol → .toString()
  • Covers all datasources (Prisma, Redis, custom integrations)
  • Prevents serialization crashes in res.json() / res.send()
  • Sanity check is performed on response before sending
  • Implemented graceful error handling for serialization failures
  • Added detailed error logging with response data context

Developer Impact​

  • No need to manually convert BigInt, Decimal and circular references
  • Responses are now safer and more stable across environments
