Support Decimal passed to Client Components from Server Components

[omararturo]

Goals

1. Allow server component send a Decimal object to client component

Non-Goals

No response

Background

Nextjs support Date object. Decimal is a type used for many ORM, like Prisma. Manual conversion is a bad and unscalable solution.

Proposal

I propose that Decimal was added to a communication from Server Component to Client Component like a Date, this feature will be good received by the community

This sounds like something React has to implement, doesn't it?

I'll reserve my opinions on trying to do this with an object that's custom defined in user land, and not a JavaScript native/primitive
