splide.go() not responding when using a string as the first argument

[mainiomooses]

Hello and thank you for an amazing tool.

As per the documentation (https://splidejs.com/components/controller/#go) .go() takes a number or a string as it's first argument - however if you do give it a string, there is no result. The slider doesn't budge, no error message either.

In my use case, upon getting an index number from a dropdown item, getting a value from a prop set on each dropdown option element in data-index, on dropdown element change (string containing an integer), the splide is moved via .go() to scroll into view the matching slide. Banged my head for a bit, also using the browser console to manually command the instance to see if I have access to it, which I did.

It was only when trying myVar = Number(myVar); when splide started to react to .go(myVar); and functioning as expected from thereon.

You can easily test this from the console, using splide.go("1"); and splide.go(1); - the former produces no result. You can also tests it by assigning an integer as a string to a variable and trying to use that to .go(), it's a no-go.
