# Description
This change allows `compact` to also compact things with empty strings,
empty lists, and empty records if the `--empty` switch is used. Let's
add a quality-of-life improvement here to just compact all this mess. If
this is a bad idea, please cite examples demonstrating why.
```
❯ [[name position]; [Francis Lead] [Igor TechLead] [Aya null]] | compact position
╭#┬─name──┬position╮
│0│Francis│Lead │
│1│Igor │TechLead│
╰─┴───────┴────────╯
❯ [[name position]; [Francis Lead] [Igor TechLead] [Aya ""]] | compact position --empty
╭#┬─name──┬position╮
│0│Francis│Lead │
│1│Igor │TechLead│
╰─┴───────┴────────╯
❯ [1, null, 2, "", 3, [], 4, {}, 5] | compact

<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
