Setting an empty string instead of null or empty object when editable is false

[rpdmiranda]

When the user clears the input field, the parser returns an empty string instead of null. This may cause problems when the controller expects the ng-model to be an object.

I fixed this changing the line 3719, inside the parser function:

if (!inputValue) {
            // Reset in case user had typed something previously.
            // An empty string is not always the best value to return
            modelCtrl.$setValidity('editable', true);
            return null;

Thx. It would be great if you could send a PR with appropriate tests. Rgds

I have just made a plunker to show this issue at http://plnkr.co/edit/dDTdi7

I’d rather have it the other way, returning an empty string always (if not touched, or cleared later)…
