float type

[redrobotdev]

with current implementation you cannot save the value as float

Yes, that's right. It's not something I've ever needed, so I haven't implemented it.

The code base is a bit messy but if you want to do a PR I'll happily accept it.

I can take a look at it at spare time. Though a quick solution would be to use beforeInsert callback and convert from string to float correct? I haven't been able to get the callback to trigger.

in the blaze template:

{{> editableText context=.. collection="AudioFiles field=(freq @index) acceptEmpty=true unsetEmpty=true **beforeInsert="convertToFloat"** substitute='<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i>'}}

In the template .js controller

EditableText.registerCallbacks({
    convertToFloat : function (documentToBeInserted, Collectiondoc) {
        console.log("convert to float");
        return true;
    },
});

Yes, that would work, but use beforeUpdate rather than beforeInsert. (The widget only inserts a whole document if it has autoInsert=true set and a context that doesn't contain an _id value. Otherwise it just updates the particular field value.)
