Enforce number data types

[tannerjt]

In regards to validations, what is the best way to validate an input field to be of type: number? I have several fields that are of type 'esriFieldTypeDouble' that I need to validate upon form submit, or onBlur.

It would be preferable to be able to specify the field as type: 'number' in the crowdsource layer config.

Yep, that should be pretty easy to do.

• Change the field type to number: https://github.com/Esri/storymap-crowdsource/blob/master/src/app/builderOptions.babel.js#L30. If you have already created the story, you'll need to change this through the AGO assistant.
• Then add field.type === 'number' to this list
• If you want to add additional validation rules to make sure it is a number for browsers that may fall back to text input (not sure if you will encounter this), you can extend this to ruleset: https://github.com/Esri/storymap-crowdsource/blob/master/src/app/utils/validations/rules/BasicRules.babel.js
• You can also rely on the min/max validations if you only want to allow ranges. You can add a rule to the validations setting: https://github.com/Esri/storymap-crowdsource/blob/master/src/app/utils/validations/rules/BasicRules.babel.js. {rule: 'max', 'max': 100} or {rule: 'min', 'min': 0}

Thank you! I'll try this out tonight.
