Empty value without Optional or ?

[dbpolito]

Current it seems there is no way to make a field optional without using the |Optional class... or the ? optional flag on property.

I would like to validate an empty array, so:

class Class extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public array $values,
    ) {
    }

I would like to change this to use present instead of required, but the#[Present] doesn't work, the required is still applied.

Changing to array|Optional works but then it will get optional object instead of empty array...

It there a better way to allow an empty array instead of overwriting rules?

    public static function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'values' => ['array'],
        ];
    }

To be honest i thought present would be implied by default instead of required.

For now what i did was i created a PresentRuleInferrer and removed RequiredRuleInferrer, maybe that's a good approach, i can open a PR with that if you guys think it's a good approach.

Using present seems correct to me, this was a bug which should be fixed with the release later today.
