Should an optionnal text field be posted with "" as a value when not filled ?
See original GitHub issueHello,
I noticed that an optionnal text field is automatically sent as an empty string when not filled. I was wondering if that was intentionnal or not ? Should / could it be sending nothing instead ?
Sending { id: 1 } instead of { id: 1, "randomOptField": "" } when the user has not filled randomOptField.
P.S. Great tool, thank you. Will PR on stuff if I manage to find some time.
