Instance Method Details

#blank? ⇒ true, false

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

This simplifies

!address || address.empty?

to

address.blank?

Returns:

  • (true, false)

def blank?
  respond_to?(:empty?) ? !!empty? : !self # rubocop:disable Style/DoubleNegation
end

#presence ⇒ Object

Returns the receiver if it's present otherwise returns +nil+. object.presence is equivalent to

object.present? ? object : nil

For example, something like

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'

Returns:
