Instance Method Details

#blank? ⇒ Boolean

An object is blank if it’s false, empty, or a whitespace string. For example, “”, “ ”, nil, [], and {} are blank.

This simplifies:

if !address.nil? && !address.empty?

…to:

if !address.blank?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def blank?
  respond_to?(:empty?) ? empty? : !self
end

#presence ⇒ Object

Returns object if it’s #present? otherwise returns nil. object.presence is equivalent to object.present? ? object : nil.

This is handy for any representation of objects where blank is the same as not present at all. For example, this simplifies a common check for HTTP POST/query parameters:

state   = params[:state]   if params[:state].present?
country = params[:country] if params[:country].present?
region  = state || country || 'US'

…becomes:

region = params[:state].presence || params[:country].presence || 'US'
