Null value edited then deleted results in empty string

[AndrewIsh]

I have a model property with a null value, I then do the following:

• edit it, giving it a value
• save (i.e. click the 'tick' button)

Then I:

• edit it, removing the value
• save (i.e. click the 'tick' button)

The model value is not returned to null, instead it is an empty string. I would expect it to be null.

Worth noting that this problem seems limited to text inputs, number inputs are set to null when empty

i think you can handle it by onbeforesave event.

if(empty == data){
data = null;
}

Is this still an issue?

@AndrewIsh is this still an issue?

Apologies for the delay in replying. The fix that @zhendong590 suggests obviously works, I guess it's now more a question of whether reverting to an empty string rather than null is desirable behaviour for angular-xeditable to be doing? My personal feeling is that reverting to null would be proper behaviour.
