What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix / hardening.

What is the current behavior?

The toInt transformer in packages/realtime_client/lib/src/transformers.dart falls back to int.tryParse(value.toString()), which returns null for whole-number doubles such as 1.0 or the string '1.0'. In practice Postgres does not send 1.0 for int4/int8 columns, so this has not caused issues, but the transformer silently dropped such values instead of converting them.

What is the new behavior?

  • double inputs that are whole numbers (for example 1.0) now convert to int. Non-finite values and values outside the 64-bit integer range return null instead of clamping.
  • String inputs still try int.tryParse first, then accept an integer with an all-zero decimal fraction (for example '10.0' or '-3.000'). The integer part is parsed directly, so values above 2^53 keep exact precision instead of being rounded through double.
  • Non-integral values (10.5, '10.5'), scientific notation ('1e3'), NaN, and infinities return null rather than silently truncating or rounding.

Test cases were added for all of the above, including regression coverage above 2^53 and outside the 64-bit integer range.

Additional context

No public API changes, toInt is @internal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved numeric conversion to correctly handle whole-number decimal values, decimal strings, and scientific notation.
    • Invalid, fractional, infinite, out-of-range, and non-numeric values are now safely rejected instead of being converted incorrectly.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for valid and invalid numeric input formats, including large values, fractional values, scientific notation, and non-finite numbers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The realtime client expands toInt to support whole-number doubles and numeric strings. It rejects fractional, non-finite, invalid, and out-of-range values. Tests cover the updated conversion behavior.

Changes

Integer conversion handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conversion logic and validation
packages/realtime_client/lib/src/transformers.dart, packages/realtime_client/test/transformers_test.dart
toInt parses integer strings and zero-fraction decimal strings. It safely converts finite, in-range doubles and returns null for unsupported values. Tests cover precision, range, scientific notation, fractional values, and non-finite values.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3496e

The transformer now accepts whole-number doubles and decimal or exponent-form strings, but large integral numeric strings may be rounded before conversion and produce an incorrect integer. The PR is otherwise localized and mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for exact large-integer handling.

Dart double.toInt behavior finite value outside int range documentation

💡 Result:

In Dart, the behavior of double.toInt() when applied to a finite value that exceeds the representable range of a 64-bit signed integer (i.e., outside the range of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807) is to clamp the value [1][2]. When a double's value is outside the MIN_INT64 to MAX_INT64 range, toInt() will return either MIN_INT64 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808) or MAX_INT64 (9,223,372,036,854,775,807), depending on whether the original double value is below or above the integer range, respectively [1][2]. This clamping behavior specifically applies to the toInt(), ceil(), floor(), and round() methods when performed on native Dart platforms [1][2]. It is important to note that when Dart code is compiled to JavaScript, int behavior is limited by the underlying JavaScript number type (a double-precision float), meaning the range for exactly representable integers is -2^53 to 2^53 [3][4][5]. Consequently, cross-platform code should be written with awareness that integer representation and overflow behavior may differ between native Dart and web environments [3][5].

Dart number representation integer precision web 2^53 double int documentation

💡 Result:

In Dart, the representation of numbers differs significantly between native platforms and the web due to how Dart maps these types to the underlying execution environment [1][2]. On the web, Dart compiles to JavaScript, which uses IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point numbers as its only numeric type [1][3]. Consequently, both Dart int and double types are represented as these 64-bit floating-point values [1][3]. This leads to the following characteristics regarding integer precision on the web: 1. Integer Precision: Because they are backed by double-precision floats, Dart integers on the web can represent integers exactly only within the range of -(2^53 - 1) to 2^53 - 1 [1][4]. Integers outside this range may lose precision, as they are rounded to the nearest representable double-precision value [1][4]. 2. Type Behavior: While int and double remain separate classes in the Dart type system, they are indistinguishable at runtime on the web [1][3]. An integer value is simply a double-precision float with no fractional part [1]. 3. Native vs. Web Differences: - Native Platforms: The int type is implemented as a 64-bit two's complement integer, providing a range of -2^63 to 2^63 - 1 [1][2]. - Web Platform: The int type is restricted to the precision limits of JavaScript's Number type [1][5]. Additionally, bitwise operations on the web truncate their operands to 32-bit integers, unlike on native platforms [5][6]. For scenarios requiring arbitrary-precision integers that behave consistently across all platforms, the BigInt class should be used [1][4]. Using BigInt ensures exact integer representation regardless of whether the code is running on native or web targets [1]. Top results: [1], [2], [4], [6]

Preserve exact integer values from numeric strings.

double.tryParse rounds values such as 9007199254740993.0 before _wholeDoubleToInt runs. The helper then accepts the rounded whole value and returns a different integer. Parse decimal and scientific forms with exact logic, or return null when exactness and the platform-supported int range cannot be proven. Add regression tests above 2^53 and for finite out-of-range values.
