blank?
December 9th, 2005
Just a little Rails think but i use it so often nowadays its worth mentioning.
using the .blank? method is another way of saying .nil? or .empty?
for instance
unless post.name.nil? or post.name.empty?
you can use
unless post.name.blank?
its a neat shortcut and not part of Ruby, its in the core extensions as part of Rails. There are many good gems in there.
