Why not automatically convert the input number type to [number]

[wbxl2000]

What problem does this feature solve?

Under Vue 2.x, I found that I should use 'Modifiers' when I wanna input a number and get a v-model value. But in Vue 3.x, it is automatically convert the input number type to [number] but [string] without Modifiers. So I doubt there are some reasons for it, what are they?

What does the proposed API look like?

<input type="number" v-model="count">
when input something, count will be type [number] always but [string]

IIRC, after being discussed in an issue in Vuejs/core, it just made more sense. However, changing it in v2 would potentially break a lot of people’s code relying on this behavior

Is there anyway to remove that auto casting? If we want to get as numeric value we can always use v-model.number but if we want to get the string value, now there's no way.

Why would we want a string value with input type number?

1. I want the leading zeros.
2. Display appropriate inputs. (I can use inputmode but input type number is the only way to show a keyboard with enter(return) key on mobile safari)

@dev-myatminsoe did you figure out a way to opt out of the auto casting?
