Ethers.js convert hex to binary

Question

I am using the following code to get transactions in ether.js

var init = function () {
  var wss = new ethers.providers.WebSocketProvider(url);
      wss.getTransaction(tx).then(function (transaction) {
         wss.on("pending", (tx) => {
           console.log(transaction.gasLimit);
           }
      });
  });

which returns the transaction, but the data is formatted as

BigNumber { _hex: '0x0245e5', _isBigNumber: true },

How can I get the decimal value, from the hex?

Thanks

Per the link in the comment above, simple call .toString() on the BN, for example before your console.log, you can have

    let gasLimitBN = transaction.gasLimit;
    console.log(gasLimitBN.toString());
