[Bug] Component key is sometimes a string and sometimes an int

[gsxdsm]

Bug Description

The "key" for a component when passed in through a template is usually passed in as a number, however when a component gets deserialized from a server call it is parsed as a string. This causes sporadic bugs with method calls when you pass in a component key as the target.

Expected behaviour

Component keys should always be a string or a number - or the comparison for key lookup in unicorn.js could use type coercion -

  if (_component.key === componentNameOrKey) {
    component = _component;
  }

---

  if (_component.key == componentNameOrKey) {
    component = _component;
  }

---

But that seems a bit hacky.
