ion-input with type "number" conflicts with maxlength attribute

Short description of the problem:

ion-input with type “number” conflicts with maxlength attribute, so that the number of characters we input can be more than maxlength. Change type to “tel”, everything will be ok.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add ion-input with type ‘number’ and set maxlength=“10”
2. Enter more than 10 numbers

<ion-item>
  <ion-label>phone</ion-label>
  <ion-input type="number" maxlength="10" clearInput [(ngModel)]="userPhone"></ion-input>
</ion-item>

Other information: Checked on Chrome browsers and on Android 6.0.

my solution is put input type as a “tel”, Because maxlength work with input type as a text & telephone number in ionic 2.

<ion-item> <ion-label>phone</ion-label> <ion-input type="tel" maxlength="10" clearInput [(ngModel)]="userPhone"></ion-input> </ion-item>

Hello, thanks for opening an issue with us! The maxlength attribute is not supported by the number type input. If you would like more info on why and some workarounds feel free to check out this Stack Overflow post. Thanks for using Ionic!
