Dates not parsed from useLoaderData ?

[QuentinWidlocher]

Hi everyone,

I returned an object with a date property from my loader function and got back a string inside my object instead of a Date.
Is it a normal behavior ?

I can map my object property from a string to a date in the front-end of course but it's a bit cumbersome and Remix already makes my life so easier, so I'm surprised !

Any data you return from a loader, or if you use the json helper, will be sent to JSON.stringify, so Date objects will be converted to strings, then when Remix reads the data it will do JSON.parse of that string, but JSON.parse is not going to revive the date string as a Date object so you will get a string from useLoaderData.

@QuentinWidlocher I added superjson to the new type inference released in v1.6.5. So you get full type fidelity from loader/action to route component.

Wow that's great thanks !
I know it was a bit of a debate but I think it's a perfect choice for Remix

I'm going to see if I can come up with a paired down version of superjson, that works for most cases. Right now superjson adds 9KB to a production bundle.

@sergiodxa I can't find an export of the custom useLoaderData you mentioned. Did you remove this, and what is your preferred solution if so?

I just tried remix-superjson. But it has type error with superjson. Does this support latest version of remix?
