Model value type question

[Dmitry44]

Hi!
I found your component is very useful - thank you!
What I didn't understand is why model's type is changing.
For example: I have $scope.amount = 1234.00 but if I try to change the amount I will have new value of the $scope.amount as a string. I think model's value type should be the same.

the has to be type="text" so it makes sense it would be a string

I had the same issue. I changed the ngModelCtrl.$parsers.unshift method to return parseFloat(noCommasVal), and that seems to work. Would it be possible to make it an option e.g. {returnNumber: true} ?
