Possible to delete empty repeater items after saving with hook

[Juergen]

Hello @ all,

today I am struggeling with the deletion of empty repeater items after saving in the backend.

Explaination:

Imagine you are adding an additional repeater item in your form in a page via the "Add button". Then you forget to fill out this item so it is empty.

After submitting the form the empty repeater item is still there because you did not deleted it with the basket symbol (deletion)

Goal:

In theory it must be possible to create a hook that checks the repeater items for content and delete the empty items after saving.

At the moment I dont know how to check if an item is empty or not. I know how to delete fields in the repeater item but not the complete item itself.

Can anyone point me into the right direction?

Best regards

Maybe not the most efficient, but I'd hook into Pages::added, if the template is the repeater template and all fields are empty just delete the page itself.

Has anyone figured this out? I really need this hook.
