Possible to treat null and undefined as the same?

[ugultopu]

The docs give the following example to declare a nullable field:

@Field({ nullable: true })
averageRating?: number;

However, this type definition should actually be:

@Field({ nullable: true })
averageRating?: number | null;

since you can explicitly pass null as the value of a nullable field in GraphQL, instead of omitting it. And if you do so, it will correctly arrive on the server as null, instead of as undefined.

I'm wondering if it's possible to null the same as undefined. That is, for the following input type:

@InputType()
class Recipe {
  @Field()
  title: string;

  @Field({ nullable: true })
  averageRating?: number;
}

Sending both { "title": "Pie" } and { "title": "Pie", "averageRating": null } will both result in { "title": "Pie" } on the server.

If not, can I create a PR that implements this as a configuration?
