Making an empty RichEditor field save as null

Has anyone figured out how to make an empty RichEditor field save as null in the database? To avoid empties saving as 
{"type": "doc", "content": [{"type": "paragraph", "content": []}]}
{"type": "doc", "content": [{"type": "paragraph", "content": []}]}
as those render into <p></p> so its a bit weird to check whether the value exists.

public function saving(Model $model): bool
{
    if ($model->text === ['type' => 'doc', 'content' => [['type' => 'paragraph', 'content' => []]]]) {
        $model->text = null;
    }
    return true;
}
public function saving(Model $model): bool
{
    if ($model->text === ['type' => 'doc', 'content' => [['type' => 'paragraph', 'content' => []]]]) {
        $model->text = null;
    }
    return true;
}
i guess That failed there seem to be other empty json structures, maybe 
public function saving(Model $model): bool
{
    if ($model->text !== null && RichContentRenderer::make($model->text)->toText() === '') {
        $model->text = null;
    }
    return true;
}
public function saving(Model $model): bool
{
    if ($model->text !== null && RichContentRenderer::make($model->text)->toText() === '') {
        $model->text = null;
    }
    return true;
}

You can use something like this: 
new TipTap\Editor()
  ->setContent($model->text)
  ->getHtml(); // or ->getText()
new TipTap\Editor()
  ->setContent($model->text)
  ->getHtml(); // or ->getText()
to convert it back.
