Input fields always sends a string for an input field, even when field contents are a number.

So I've got a field bound to an EmberFire object, as specified below:

<label>Page</label>
      {{input type="number" value=model.page classNames="form-control"}}
</div>

I've also got a validate entry on the page field as follows:

"page":{
     ".validate": "newData.isNumber()"
},

I don't have anything special in the controller for the 'page' variable, it just enters it directly into Firebase, and works great if the validate entry isn't in play. However, entry into this field fails, as EmberFire is sending a string of the number, not the actual number.

What is the type of the 'page' attribute on your model?

[jondthompson]

It's an int, until the user changes it. Then it's still an int until it is sent to Firebase

{ id:"0",text: "0-0", page: 0,
