Hexadecimal is converted into number in action parameter

[andylim0221]

• [x] I am running the latest version
• [x] I checked the documentation and found no answer
• [x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed
• [x] I'm reporting the issue to the correct repository

Current Behavior

We have an action with the following parameter setup:

params: {
  transactionHash: 'string'
}

We pass a hexadecimal string, eg. '0xab706...' into the params, the hexadecimal string is being converted into number '7.7544153918976e+76'.

Expected Behavior

Expected to pass the original hexadecimal string and not convert it.

Context

• Moleculer version: ^0.13.0
• NodeJS version: 10.16.0
• Operating System: MacOS Catalina

I don't think so. https://repl.it/@icebob/moleculer-dev-hexdec

I could reproduce with REPL. So it's not a validation issue

[icebob]

In this case, the problem is in vorpal?

[AndreMaz]

Yes, I think it is. @andylim0221 can you provide more info? Did you use REPL?

[andylim0221]

@AndreMaz I was using moleculer-repl.

however, when i query it through the url, it works out as what I expected. Perhaps there must be something wrong with the moleculer-repl.
