Nullable support

[royduin]

Support for the ->nullable(), see: https://nova.laravel.com/docs/2.0/resources/fields.html#nullable-fields. So null can be stored instead of an empty array [].

To get this working we need to use one of these:

• ->nullable(true, '[]')
• ->nullable()->nullValues('[]')

For reference: https://github.com/laravel/nova/blob/91301a38949885f0c29a9b962d193ca77cf5ee50/src/Fields/Field.php#L363

This seems to change the default behavior which is that this field acts on arrays primarily and firstly. Making users now have to define that the default null value is an array seems off to me. Thanks for the time / thought put in though.

[royduin]

It doesn't change the default behavior. It only changes from [] to null if you add one of the nullable options mentioned. The default is still an empty array: [].

Just like any other field in Nova; with the default Text field it saves an empty string '' by default when nothing is filled. With ->nullable() it saved null when empty.

Please reconsider, merge and create a new release.
