[NumberInput] no way to get value from NumberInput if not numeric

What package(s) are you using?

• carbon-components
• carbon-components-react

Detailed description

Describe in detail the issue you’re having.

While chrome prevents NumberInput from receiving a text values, both Firefox and Safari will allow text to be written to input. Without the feature flag flipped there is no way to receive an onChange event or handle this with an error message. This component should log all changes in the onChange handler.

Is this issue related to a specific component?

NumberInput

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? What would you like to see changed?

I expect onChange handler to be called anytime the value changes on the NumberInput. Currently onChange is not called when entering in text and if you add a ref the value that is sent back is empty.

What browser are you working in?

Chrome, firefox, and safari

What version of the Carbon Design System are you using?

latest

What offering/product do you work on? Any pressing ship or release dates we should be aware of?

AI PAL

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open up storybook in Firefox
2. Add text to input field.
3. There is no error message and no onChange is fired

@joshblack any problems with adding this in? Seems like it would solve an issue for @davidicus and he’s willing to contribute a fix 😃

Is this something that Carbon wants to handle for their consumers? If so I would be happy to contribute a fix.
