Descrizione
I was struggling for hours with an error only happening in my deployed function, but not locally.
Turns out, since I generate the schema programmatically, I had some optional property that was undefined in the schema. This causes AJV to throw `TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object`.
I logged my schema and data, copy pasted it in a local test program and spent HOURS not understanding what was happening. Why was it working locally but not when running in my deployed function?
Turns out the schema had an `undefined` in it, which was of course trimmed away silently when logging to cloud watch, hence not ending up in my local test program.
is there any reason Ajv could not ignore undefineds? I assume it does something like iterate properties using `Object.keys` or `for const k in obj`, and just checking `if obj[k] === undefined {}` seems harmless?
**What version of Ajv are you using? Does the issue happen if you use the latest version?**
ajv 8.17.1 - latest
**Ajv options object**
```javascript
{strictSchema: false}
```
**JSON Schema**
```json
{
type: "object",
properties: {
foo: {type: "string"},
bar: undefined
}
}
```
**Sample data**
```json
{foo: "FOO"}
```
**Your code**
```javascript
new Ajv({strictSchema: false}).validate(schema, data);
```
**Validation result, data AFTER validation, error messages**
```
TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object
```
**What results did you expect?**
I expected `undefined` values in schemas to be ignored silently and the object to match the schema.
**Are you going to resolve the issue?**
I'm happy to attempt at a PR
