I don't seem to get an error in TypeScript, but it doesn't convert for me which is what I expected it to do. Would there be interest in converting to an int/number in cases where the type equals number? Or is this added complication and should be handled by other means

[rightisleft]

I would assume that if the type is number - then the value exposed to the model would also be a numeric value.

Dart throws an error as its a type mismatch - converting the variable type to String fixes the symptom, but it should not be String ....

I have the latest beta version and I am still seeing this issue. A input with type=number using ngModel is returning a string to the model instead of a number. Any progress on this?

@RemnantArcher Do you have a small plunk to verify this is till true as of Beta 15? I noticed that the tests don't cover the ng-model use-case, though on the surface don't see a reason why it should fail there.
