empty array in angular-schema-form - angularjs

Question

I'm using angular-schema-form in my project and trying to add an empty array in my model.
I expected that array type schema form will not contain any items but it actually pushed one object in my array and showed it in from.
How can I init form with no items in array?
html
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="Controller as ctr">
<form sf-schema="ctr.schema" sf-form="ctr.form" sf-model="ctr.model"></form>
{{ctr.model.comments}} - Where this object come from? This array was empty. Is it possible to keep it empty on load?
</div>
js
var myApp = angular.module('app', ['schemaForm'])
.controller("Controller", function() {
this.schema = {
"type": "object",
"title": "Comment",
"properties": {
"comments": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {
"title": "Name",
"type": "string"
},
"comment": {
"title": "Comment",
"type": "string",
"maxLength": 20,
"validationMessage": "Don't be greedy!"
}
}
}
}
}
};
this.form = [{
"key": "comments",
"items": [
"comments[]"
]
}];
this.model = {
comments: [] // Empty array defined
};
});
Jsfiddle

The value you are looking for is startEmpty: true this will avoid pre-populating the array with an object.
Angular Schema Form: Array Documentation
The pre-population is defaulted to ensure that the form fields within an array are available when the form loads. The startEmpty: true value can override this behaviour.
