as in the title.. how to prevent such operations to happen? Here is a link to the official site, see the example. The variable user.name is bound to the first input userName and if the input is empty the object user.name is removed. How can I disable this functionality of angularjs?

Try ng-model-options="{allowInvalid: true}" to update the model even for invalid entries.
<input ng-model="user.name" required ng-model-options="{allowInvalid: true}">

You've got 2 option
- remove
requiredfrom input tag it allows you to send back empty string to your backend
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.params = {
user: "John"
};
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<input name="userName" ng-model="params.user" />
<hr/>
<pre>{{params| json}}</pre>
</div>- Option two validate your form before you send it to backend.
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.user = {
name: "John"
};
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<form name="someForm">
<input name="userName" ng-model="user.name" required name="userName" />
<span ng-show="someForm.userName.$error.required">User Name required</span>
<br/>{{user | json}}
<br/>
<button type="submit" ng-disabled="someForm.$invalid">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>

I want to send an Form with an empty input (an invalid input - as angular interprets it), later on an user will get that form and he will fill it. I used the solution which @Vinay K suggested, to use
ng-model-options directive. Thanks for your help @Vinay K
user.nameto? After all, if the inputuserNameis empty, then the model should be empty?
