why do we need to assert that `items` is not empty? #64

In all constructors there is this assertion:

assert(items!.isNotEmpty, 'Items list must contain at least one item.',),

My question is: why do we do need this? I have a case where the items come from the database and there is a high chance it might be empty so my code will be throwing whenever it returns an empty list from the database.

Hi @hbatalhaStch This assertion removed in latest release 3.1.0. Thanks to you 😀
