added an option to include columns with a not null contraint

No description provided.

From an API point of view, I'm not sure I like using the key any here - it's too vague and doesn't literally mean what it implies ("any column", since we're still restricting by type and with content_columns, per discussion on #27). Maybe :nullables_only => false or something more descriptive? Not sure I have a good key in mind myself.

[dwa012]

@rubiety I am not the best at naming keys. I had made the change for a need that I had.
I think :nullables_only => false sounds good to me.

Yep, this is a tricky one. Can't think of anything more descriptive myself, so 👍 for nullables_only: false / skip_nullables: false.

Looks good just need to make sure it works globally such as

ActiveRecord::Base.nilify_blanks : skip_nullables => flase

[jibiel]

# config/initializers/nilify_blanks.rb
ActiveRecord::Base.nilify_blanks skip_nullables: false

Works for me on rails 4.2.5!
I think it always worked and some users (incl. me) just didn't expect it will be skipping null: false fields silently.

@rubiety Any updates on that?

Would be happy to accept a pull request implementing the above with appropriate tests, from the original author or otherwise.

I have implemented this myself in commit c5a4af9 to master with tests, closing this pull request.
