self::getArg always returns a string

[pikiou]

One would expect self::getArg("y", AT_posint, true) to return an integer, but it returns the string of an integer, e.g "25" instead of 25.
Is it intended?
If so, I'll add something on the wiki about it to save other devs the trouble of handling "25"+4 in a JS script when they thought it'd be 25+4 ^^

put like this: (self::getArg("y", AT_posint, true))+4 = 29

[pikiou]

"25"+4 works fine in PHP and ("25")+4 doesn't work in JS, so I'm not sure what to do with your advice ^^
Actually I know how to handle it, I'm just wandering if the behavior of self::getArg should be changed or documented.

oups sorry! I changed somz behaviour like that like 't'+i+j in 't'+(i+j)... but I answered too quickly to your post

Hello Pikiou,

Thank you for this remark.

Indeed, this is probably unintended, but this had no consequences until then. I'll fixed this on the next release.

Cheers,

PS: did you meet some situation where this cause an issue in your code?
