Different types in NoopSerializer

[konstmal]

Flugg\Responder\Serializers\NoopSerializer::null(): Return value must be of type array, null returned at /var/www/html/vendor/flugger/laravel-responder/src/Serializers/NoopSerializer.php:51)

In NoopSerializer returned type of null() function is array, but function always returns null

Sorry, forgot to mention, what is the pacakge-version?
Also, could you please add a minimum reproducable example?

I caught the error in 3.3.0 version, where was added type hint for functions
In 3.2.0 there are no problems

I tried using this code snippet:

 return $transformation->resource(User::all())->serializer(NoopSerializer::class)->transform();

But it did not break.

[konstmal]

$anyUser = User::query()->first(); return [ 'other' => transformation($anyUser, new UserTransformer())->transform(), ];

This is my code, and the error exists where $anyUser has some null fields

Would be nice to have a fix for this.. this code is obviously not working:

    public function null(): array
    {
        return null; # Cannot return null if type must be array
    }

I guess the type definition for this method should be ?array, because null must be returned for relationships, that cannot be resolved, so that they actually return null instead of [].
