Empty/non-set relations should not return as empty string in the result Json about dart-sdk HOT 4 CLOSED

@TomTom101 As mentioned previously, we don't have null and this is deliberate (see the table of the supported values in https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/releases/tag/v0.3.0; there will be more documentation on this in the new docs with the v0.8.0 release later this week).

PocketBase doesn't have null values (with the exception of the json type) and uses zero defaults.

Relations are expanded only under the expand property and the original root-level keys are left untouched.

I'm not sure that I understand your use case, but there are no plans to change the resulting format since it will be too confusing (expand is not always available because it depends on the View API rule of the related collection and if we reuse the same key as the id then you may end up in situation where a single prop will have 2 different types - string and object/array).

Thanks Gani!

What I'm after is a json null for unset relational fields. So "relation": null instead of "relation": "":

{
    "id": "2euaei6s2bs9kfx",
    "created": "2022-11-16 21:36:26.035Z",
    "updated": "2022-11-16 21:36:26.035Z",
    "collectionId": "wx8ugpt1m8dk2o5",
    "collectionName": "items",
    "expand": {},
    "name": "Some record name",
    "relation": null
}

from dart-sdk.

Now I understand "with the exception of the json type" ;) Thanks!
