Get client's max int server-side

Question

I have been making input fields of type number on the client side. I've been giving them a max attribute of the maximum integer value in the client's browser, using:

Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER.toString()

Now, I'm outputting an input field on the server-side. I still want the maximum value of the field to be the client's maximum integer.

How do I get the client's max int size from the server, without passing it?

You would need to send it to the server using AJAX and then maybe store it in a session var. — AbraCadaver, Apr 29 '16 at 14:50

I know I could pass it, but I just wanted to know if there was a way to get it server-side easily. — Hutch Moore, Apr 29 '16 at 15:05
I thought there may have been a server-side constant for that. — Hutch Moore, Apr 29 '16 at 15:10

Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is a static, constant variable. It is always 2⁵³ - 1 = 9007199254740991.

Not sure why you would want to fetch that dynamically ever.

Okay, I forgot that. Thanks. I'll just use the number literal then. – Hutch Moore Apr 29 '16 at 15:08
