Trap "toJSON" to allow serialization of proxies

[CheloXL]

Hi, I just found an issue while trying to store objects on IDB. It seems that IDB can't serialize proxied objects, and throws an error (Serialization error: Can't serialize [object object] on xxx...).

So, in order for me to be able to store these objects, I have to serialize/deserialize the object manually (so effectively removing the proxy).

I was thinking that maybe you can trap the checks for "has toJSON" to return true and then when that method is invoked, return the raw object. That would solve the serialization issue.

If the object already has a toJSON method, you should not have to do anything.

What do you think?

Hi!

I will look into it. In the meantime you can use raw, like:

import { observable, raw } from '@nx-js/observer-util'

const obs = observable({})
const json = raw(obj).toJSON()

See the relevant docs here

Yes, I know.. I just wanted to know if I can get rid of that "automagically" :) Thanks!
