Nulls serialization

[breslavsky]

Primitives with null values are not presented in serialized object

@Model()
class User {
  @Field()
  firstName: string;

  @Field()
  lastName: string;
}
let admin = new User();
admin.firstName = "Anton";
admin.lastName = null;

console.log(serialize(admin));
// {firstName: "Anton"}
// but expected
// {firstName: "Anton", lastName: null}

Question is here https://github.com/AndreyZelenskiy/serialize/blob/master/src/serializers/field.utils.ts

export function isPresent(obj: Object): boolean {
  return obj !== undefined && obj !== null;
}

Perhaps remove obj !== null ?

Hello! Glad to see you again 😄

Agreed that optional values will be nice to have. What do you think about the typing of such fields?

[breslavsky]

I think, by default, we must serialize and deserialize nulls in any way. We have a case when we use serialization for graphql mutations and nulls have matter here. Please check master...breslavsky:master

I have created some fixes. It works, currently, we are using the library from https://www.npmjs.com/package/@junte/serialize-ts

Hope you we can find the solution, thanks for your job!

Nice work! Glad to see forks.
Will do something about it in a couple of days. Thank you once again
