Sails Waterline Model attributes Validation type 'integer', 'float' fails - sails.js

Question

My Model Attributes
per: {
type: 'float',
required: true
},
typeid: {
type: 'integer',
required: true
},
My input
{
per: '5GH',
typeid: '6SD',
}
I expect this should fail and will get error message something like
typeid:
[ { rule: 'integer',
message: 'undefined should be a integer
But on validation the o/p after validation
{
per: 5,
typeid: 6,
}
Do we need to manually validate integer and float in this case?

Official Sails Doc for Validation
As in documentation you can see that integer validation check for integer as well as string for validation.
According to what i have experienced with validation
For strictly validate use int,decimal in place of integer,float
problem with your scene is as follow.
a=5 =>integer in a
a="5" =>string but the integer value is 5
a="5a4" =>string but integer value is 5 not 54
a="a5" =>string and no integer value.Only this case will fail on validation rule
If you want strictly validate the attributes according to you custom rule then you can add custom validation rule in your models.See the code below:
module.exports = {
attributes: {
name: {
type:'string'
},
mail: {
type:'string',
defaultsTo:'a'
},
age:{
type:'string',
isInt:true
}
},
types:{
isInt:function(value){
console.log(value);
if(typeof value==='number' && value=== Math.floor(value)){
console.log('value is a number');
return true;
}
if(!isNaN(1*value)){
console.log(value);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
};
So for each model you need to write custom validator.
And
i guess there is now way currently to write global custom validation
rule so that you could apply your validation on attributes of different models by writing validation
globally.
