New config option
store_attribute_with_nil_value
means whether Dynamoid should store model attribute withnil
value in DynamoDB item.By default Dynamoid will continue rejecting such attributes due saving item in order to maintain current behaviour and to not introduce breaking changes.
Follow-up to #359. Related Issue #358
The reason
Recently I found out that such attributes are rejected at saving stage which I would consider as incorrect behaviour. In order to allow users to keep current behavoiur and not introduce breaking changes I would like to add this new option.
So to keep old behaviour nothing should be changed. If user want to have fixed behaviour
store_attribute_with_nil_value
config option should be set totrue

/ne
operators should be used.Old behaviour:
