BigInt support #4
Description
Right now max value is Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, with no support for bigints. This is an issue for tracking this feature. Hashids has support for it here (for reference): https://github.com/niieani/hashids.js/blob/master/src/hashids.ts
Todos:
- Support in
encode()/decode() - Adjust
maxValue() - Add tests specifically for bigints
- Add an example of how to use bigints

+1 this is useful if you need to do something like convert a uuid to a sqid

It would be great to revisit this now, bigint is available in all environments.

PR #39 adds opt-in BigInt support for encode() and decode(), including unsigned 64-bit values, input validation, TypeScript types, tests, and a usage example. Feedback and reviews are welcome! @4kimov
