Feature request: Validate leading zero for numericality

[mondwan]

Goal:

• Expect "010" to be false in numericality validator

Description:

It will be great if there is an option like noLeadingZero in numericality.

Why

• Value from HTML5 number box is string
• The coercion of + will force "010" to be 10

Facts above make 010 to be a valid number which it should not be in reality in my opinion.

JS:

var c = {
    "numericality": {
    "greaterThanOrEqualTo":1,
    "lessThanOrEqualTo":100,
    "message":"<id> from 1 to 100",
  },
  "presence": true,
};

// Expect to be false, but get true
console.log(
    'validation result ',
    validate.single('010', c)
);

// No problem
console.log(
    'validation result ',
    validate.single('10', c)
);

Agreed, though I think the option should be called strict instead.

Please make this an option, I would like cases where it is the current behavior.

[mondwan]

This option is optional by default

[mondwan]

By the way, option has been renamed to strict as requested in the pull request. However, I am not sure how to deal with floating point number. Should I allow all trailing zero if that is a float?

If yes, I can simply add a check and bypass this checking.
