Coffeescript: how do I convert a string to a number?

Question

I am building a JSON object that is sent in a POST request. This object has properties that need to be converted from string type to integer type before sending. How does one do that with coffeescript?

Accepted Answer

Use the javascript `parseInt` function.

```
number = parseInt( stringToParse, 10 );
```

Reference is here.

Remember, coffeescript is just javascript after it's compiled
