What is the difference between numeric and number?

While looking at the available types on the q2-input component, you may notice two that seem similar enough that they may cause confusion (i.e., number and numeric). Here is the difference between the two:

• number - Sets the input type to "number", and allows you to type a basic number with a single decimal point. There is no input-masking or special formatting that occurrs.
• numeric - Can make use of format-modifier options to provide more complex values. Some of these include:
  • Entering multiple-decimal point values (e.g., an IP address). This is the default behavior.
  • delimited - Comma-delimited values
  • integer - Integer values (i.e., no decimal point)
  • Ndec - Decimal point customization, where N is the number of digits after the decimal point.
