default AuthContext value fails TypeScript compilation

[bayareacoder]

I believe issue #5372 is not yet fixed since only id was set to a string.
There is still a problem with the fullName property of defaultIdentity which is set to null in AuthContext.txt, giving error:
type 'null' is not assignable to type 'string | undefined'.

const defaultIdentity: UserIdentity = {
id: '',
fullName: null
 };

However UserIdentity type has:

fullName?: string;

so it can either be a string or undefined, but not null.

If you can't repro this it's probably because you have 'strict' set to false in tsconfig, which disables strict null checks (so null is valid for a string type)

Using TS 3.9.4

Building ra-core with "strick": true fails with 175 errors. I think there must be another reason why you're having this error and we don't.

This was the first error that popped up. Did a search based on error string and saw the earlier issue that I referenced. Doesn’t mean there are no other errors. Yes it builds fine with “strict:false”.
