Nullable Data object properties become not nullable (v2.5.0)

[ekateiva]

The update to v2.5.0 (using together with spatie/laravel-data ^3.12) is now causing issue with nullable properties.

Tha Data class:

What php artisan typescript:transform brings:

The typescript-transformer.php config that I am using:

<?php

return [
    /*
     * The paths where typescript-transformer will look for PHP classes
     * to transform, this will be the `app` path by default.
     */

        // commented out because this is also included when
        // running the generate command with a custom --path setting
        // e.g.
        // `php artisan typescript:generate --path=nova-components/`
        // will also include the objects in app/ directory

        // app_path(),
    ],

    /*
     * Collectors will search for classes in the `auto_discover_types` paths and choose the correct
     * transformer to transform them. By default, we include a DefaultCollector which will search
     * for @typescript annotated and ![TypeScript] attributed classes to transform.

@rubenvanassche Exactly the same problem. Do you have any idea ? Thanks

We are also having this problem.

Same here too.

Edit: It's spatie/typescript-transformer 2.3.1 > 2.4.0 upgrade that causes this breaking change. Seems related to the nullToOptional feature :
