ngMaxLength with integer only input fails

[pocesar]

ngMaxlength seem to be coercing the input value to int? I have

<input ng-model="user.data.numero" ng-maxlength="8" type="text">

which user.data.numero = 232, and it's failing. if I type "n232" it works. Using latest 1.3.0 beta 12

Hm, in this plunker, $error.maxlength becomes true if I have more than 8 characters in the input:

So this works. Are your refering to a specific behavior? (In beta.12, the behavior changed insofar that invalid model values will show in the bound input regardless of validity.)

@Narretz you mean that when the validity is failing then the model value will not show up at all.

@matsko that has always been the case, iirc. The other way round is new (invalid model shows in input). Might actually be a breaking change if you think about it.

Yes it could be overly strict. I think we need another property on ngModel that is there no matter what: #6740 (comment)
