Refactor Client class to remove null value checks in document processing

[shimonewman]

This update simplifies the handling of document updates by allowing null values to be included, removing unnecessary checks for null values in the Client class methods.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • All keys, including those with null values, are now preserved when preparing data for insert, update, and upsert operations. This ensures that fields with null values are included in documents and updates as expected.

Walkthrough

The update removes all logic that filtered out null values from arrays before converting them to stdClass objects in various data manipulation methods. Now, all keys—including those with null values—are retained when preparing documents and filters for database queries, affecting how data is constructed and transmitted.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Null Value Filtering Removal src/Client.php	Eliminated conditional checks that excluded null values from arrays in several methods. Now, all keys and values, including nulls, are included when constructing stdClass objects for insert, update, upsert, and filter operations.

Poem

A bunny hopped through lines of code,
Where nulls once hid, now all are showed.
No more filtering, all keys remain,
In every object, none abstain.
With every hop, the data’s true—
Even nulls get their debut!

This empty line appears to be unintentional whitespace that should be removed for cleaner code formatting.

542-542: Manual verification required for update() null-value behavior

I ran searches for ->update() calls but didn’t find any invocations in the codebase. Please confirm that introducing explicit null assignments via

'u' => $this->toObject($updates)

won’t break existing functionality:

• Verify whether any code paths call Client::update(…).
• Ensure callers can distinguish between a field being set to null versus being omitted.
• Update any validation or business logic that relies on field-existence checks ($exists) or null checks accordingly.

571-571: Review upsert() null value behavior

This change in src/Client.php (line 571) now passes the raw $op['update'] through toObject(), preserving any null values in upsert operations. On insert, fields explicitly set to null will be stored as null rather than omitted.

Please verify the downstream impact on:

• Document schema expectations (are null fields allowed or do they violate your schema?)
• Index definitions (does indexing treat null differently from missing fields?)
• Application logic or validation that distinguishes between missing vs. null values

Also, consider extending your tests in tests/MongoTest.php to cover an upsert with null values and confirm the behavior aligns with your requirements.
