Currently the deserializer fills all fields which are missing in the payload with the value
undefined
. Usually the difference between a missing field and a field which is set toundefined
is not important. In some cases the behaviour is different however. For example when usingObject.keys
, thein
operator or a strict recursive comparison like lodash’sisEqual
.This PR changes the behaviour, so that the missing fields are skipped and the deserialized objects do not have them set to
undefined
anymore.I feel this is the correct approach, because this is the most strict meaning for optional properties in typescript. (Even though the flag that checks strictly is not enabled by default, for backward compatibility.)
PR checklist
This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit as it would merge with master.
These must match the expectations made by your contribution.
You may regenerate an individual generator by passing the relevant config(s) as an argument to the script, for example
./bin/generate-samples.sh bin/configs/java*
.For Windows users, please run the script in Git BASH.
