userEvent.type() breaks with a number

Not sure if this is a bug, or as intended, so feel free to close 😃

I I just tried to do this:

await userEvent.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText('Price'), item.price);

Where price is a number. That throws the error TypeError: text.slice is not a function

running with toString() fixes that:

await userEvent.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText('Price'), item.price.toString());

Since the browser would coerce to a string if we were setting a value, should this too? Or should I just always coerce it myself?

We’re seeing a situation where type with a string on a number input doesn’t work… the browser wants a number to be entered, not a string. Any way to do this?

Makes sense! Thanks a lot
