 By default, all fields mentioned in the schema of `obj` are required. However, you can make a field optional explicitly.
 
+In case you do not care how exactly the field is optional, you can use the `or` in combination with `noting`:

+```ts
+import { obj, str, num, or, nothing } from '@withease/contracts';
+
+const UserWithOptionalAge = obj({
+  name: str,
+  age: or(num, nothing),
+});
+```
+
+In the example above, the `age` field can be either a number or missing or `null` or `undefined`.

+## Only `null`

-::: tip Q: But `undefined` as a field value is not the same as a missing field, right?
-A: Correct. However, in **most cases**, you can treat `undefined` as a missing field and vice versa. In case you _really_ need to differentiate between the two, you can fallback to more powerful tools like Zod or Runtypes, `@withease/contracts` aims to cover only the most common use cases.
