Allow to render empty nodes in xml if value is nil #4

Closed Tab10id closed 1 year ago

Tab10id commented 1 year ago

For some reasons we need to render empty xml nodes even if actual value absence. For now the only available solution to add || '' for every attributes in decorator. Similar feature we have in representable: https://trailblazer.to/2.1/docs/representable.html#representable-function-api-render-nil Do you have plans to implement such feature? I understand that it can make deserialization process more complicated.

Hey, I just released a new version that solves this. You can use render_nil: true to control rendering. Release notes are here: https://www.shalerb.org/releases.html#v070

I'll close the issue, if you need anything create a new one, thanks.
