How to get validated data

[laudaikinhdi]

Backgroud: I use method PATCH to update a column in database

I have a UpdateUserDto class

class UpdateUserDto extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public ?string $name,
        public ?string $email,
        public ?string $password,
    ) {
    }

In controller:

$updateUserDto = UpdateUserDto::from($request->all())
dd($updateUserDto->toArray());

Output:

  [
  "name" => "Test"
  "email" => null
  "password" => null
  ]

In postman:

    {
       "name": "Test",
    }

Expect:
I want ignore data null if client not sent and expect result

  [
  "name" => "Test"
  ]

I did not test it, but try using Optional, as documented in https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-data/v4/as-a-data-transfer-object/optional-properties:

class UpdateUserDto extends Data
{
    public function __construct(
        public string|Optional $name,
        public string|Optional $email,
        public string|Optional $password,
    ) {
    }
}
