class Object
  # An object is blank if it's false, empty, or a whitespace string.
  # For example, '', '   ', +nil+, [], and {} are all blank.
  #
  # This simplifies:
  #
  #   if address.nil? || address.empty?
  #
  # ...to:
  #
  #   if address.blank?
  def blank?
    respond_to?(:empty?) ? empty? : !self
  end

  # An object is present if it's not <tt>blank?</tt>.
  def present?
    !blank?
  end

  # Returns object if it's <tt>present?</tt> otherwise returns +nil+.
  # <tt>object.presence</tt> is equivalent to <tt>object.present? ? object : nil</tt>.
  #
  # 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'
