Breaking changes

RecordedEvent["created"] is now a Date

Previously, a recorded event's created property was being returned in ticks, a 64bit integer in 100ns precision. As well as being an unusual format, this was being parsed into a Number, so was unsafe. This release changes the property to be represented by a Date.

Before:

created was an unsafe "ticks" since epoch:

for await (const { event } of client.readStream(STREAM_NAME)) {
  // 16675621600650000 (greater than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER)
  console.log(event?.created);
}

After:

created is a Date:

for await (const { event } of client.readStream(STREAM_NAME)) {
  // 2022-11-04T11:42:40.065Z
  console.log(event?.created);
}
