Description:
I am unable to insert NULL values using Connector for Node.js

This is my code block
-----
let InsertData = async (tableName, columns, values) => {
  try {
    let data = await GetTable(tableName); //Here it will get return me table object.
    let { table, session } = data;
    console.log({ values });

    let insert = await table
      .insert(columns) //columns is Array
      .values(values) // values is also Array
      .execute();
    session.close();
    return {
      result: GetResult(insert) // Here I am getting final result object
    };
  } catch (ex) {
    console.log(ex);
    return null;
  }
};

Error: invalid input expression

How to repeat:
table.insert(['name','isActive']).values([null,1]).execute();

Here I tried null and undefined both values but it didn't work.
I don't know how to insert NULL value into database using this connector.

Suggested fix:
null/undefined from JS can automatically convert to NULL into MySQL.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.14 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Attempting to use false-like values such as 0, false, null, and undefined
would emit errors when inserting a new table row. Additionally, now
boolean values become numeric values (true=1, false=0) while null and
undefined are converted to MySQL's NULL type.

Thank you for the bug report.
