how to parse an optional number

[jdgamble555]

How would I parse an optional number?

const postSchema = object({
  ...
  category_order: optional(number()),
  ...
});

const formData = decode_formdata(await request.formData(), {
    numbers: ['category_order']
});

This does not seem to work when optional, as I get this message:

category_order - NaN - Invalid type

when checking the error:

const msg = result.issues[0].path[0].key + ' - ' + result.issues[0].path[0].value + ' - ' + result.issues[0].message;

This is a problem with the FormData decoding library you are using. If you are using my library, please file an issue there. Without checking the source of decode-formdata, I think we currently do not support multiple data types on a single file.

Actually that is your library, I had to rename it because I had another decode function. Will file issue.
