ui.number to return integer?

[groucho86]

Wondering what would be the most elegant way to set ui.number to return an integer.

My current solution is for there to be a
self.int = True

Then I've tweaked several functions:

    def sanitize(self) -> None:
        """Sanitize the current value to be within the allowed limits."""

        if self.value is None and 'clearable' in self._props: ## Oh yeah, added this as well
            value = None
        else:
            value = float(self.value or 0)
            value = max(value, self.min)
            value = min(value, self.max)
         
            if self.int:
                self.set_value(int(math.floor(value)))
            else:
                self.set_value(float(self.format % value) if self.format else value)
   
    def _event_args_to_value(self, e: GenericEventArguments) -> Any:
        if not e.args:
            return None
        if self.int:
            return int(math.floor(float(e.args)))
        else:
            return float(e.args)

    def _value_to_model_value(self, value: Any) -> Any:
        if value is None:
            return None
        if self.format is None:
            return str(value)
        if value == '':
            return 0
        return self.format % float(value)

    def _value_to_event_value(self, value: Any) -> Any:
        if self.int:
            return int(math.floor(value))
        else:
            return float(value) if value else 0

Thanks for the proposal, @groucho86!
I could imagine a parameter ui.number(..., integer: bool = False) to control the datatype.
Would you like to create a pull request? 🙂

Here goes nothing! :)
