$nin operator seems like fail with empty array

[micskeil]

const exclude = loadedItems.map(item => item._id);

The following query doesn't work (gives back zero elements) when the exlude is an empty array. Tested many different ways.

const query = searchValue ? {
parentId: { $eq: selectedFolderId },
_id: { $nin: exclude },
name: { $regex: searchValue, $options: "i" },
} : {
parentId: { $eq: selectedFolderId },
_id: { $nin: exclude },
}
