v0.6 Error decoding body form to objects that contain integer fields

[cgarciae]

I have this test class and route that tries to parse a form containing a integer value

class TestClass {
  @Field() int number;
}

@Group('/test')
class TestRoutes {
  @Route('/int-post-param')
  testIntPostParam(@Decode(from: const[app.FORM]) TestClass test) {
    return test.number += 1;
  }
}

But this error arises as a result

.TestRoutes.testIntPostParam: Error parsing 'test' parameter: MapperException: TestClass#number: type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'int' of 'value'.

It look like its trying to decode a Map to a TestClass but fails because the maps "number" field is a String.

Looking at the code it seems that request.bodys values are always Strings.

How about this?

try {
        return decode(data, paramType);
      } catch (e) {
        try {
          return mirrors.reflectClass(paramType).newInstance(#fromStringMap, [data]).reflectee;
        }
        catch (e2) {
          throw new ErrorResponse(
              400, "$handlerName: Error parsing '$paramName' parameter: $e\n\nError using 'fromJson' constructor: $e2");
        }
      }

It might be nicer if the decoder tried to parse String to int before failing in general.

Is this still relevant? Also, shouldn't this issue be opened on the plugin's repo directly [or is it a bug with redstone specifically?]
