Expected behavior
I’m embedding Forest Admin into my existing project, based upon Express and Sequelize.
I have a Sequelize model.
The sequelize model has some fields.
One of the fields is declared as an INTEGER Sequelize type.
When I create a new record for this model in Forest Admin and I input a nember (eg: 0) in the form field related to the INTEGER field, the typeof of the value is supposed to be number.
Actual behavior
The typeof of the value is string.
Failure Logs
This is the relevant part of my model:
// ...
testField: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
field: 'test_field',
allowNull: false,
defaultValue: 0,
validate: {
justTest(value) {
console.log('this is the value type:', typeof value)
},
},
},
// ...
In our integration test we do:
// ...
await TestModel.create({
// ...
testField: 100,
// ...
})
// ...
And this is what we see in the logs:
this is the value type: number
But when I create the new record from Forest Admin, this is what I see in my logs:
this is the value type: string
