Connect middleware to convert parameter values to native types

It relies on req.body parsed by connect.bodyParser.

"3" -> 3
"3.5" -> 3.5 # decimal point is localizable
"3,545" -> 3545 # thousands seperator is localizable
"false" -> false
"true" -> true
"null" -> null
"undefined" -> undefined
"" -> undefined

Defaults (thousands_seperator = ',', decimal_point = '.')

var connect = require('connect');
var typedBody = require('connect-typed-body');
var app = connect();
app.use(connect.bodyParser);  // important must come before typedBody
app.use(typedBody());
app.use( function(req, res){
  res.end JSON.stringify(req.body)
}); 

Localized

var connect = require('connect');
var typedBody = require('connect-typed-body');
var app = connect();
app.use(connect.bodyParser);  // important must come before typedBody
app.use(typedBody({thousands_seperator: '.', decimal_point: ','}));
app.use( function(req, res){
  res.end JSON.stringify(req.body)
}); 

Dynamic overwrite

var connect = require('connect');
var typedBody = require('connect-typed-body');
var app = connect();
app.use(connect.bodyParser);  // important must come before typedBody
app.use( function(req, res,next){
  if(req.locale == "de_DE"){
    req.decimal_point = ',' ;
    req.thousands_seperator = '.';
  }
  next(); 
});
app.use(typedBody());
app.use( function(req, res){
  res.end JSON.stringify(req.body)
});
