Emphasized Insanity - Rails nil, null empty or blank object

No, this is not a real Sinatra error :). This is the personal homepage of Elad Meidar, a web developer and an entrepreneur specializing in Ruby on Rails. I hang around in Israel, and i am currently having the best time of my life over at Fiverr.com I am a proud member of RailsBridge, Helping new Rails developers get into our world and also contributed a few Patches to the Ruby on Rails core.

From the rails Ruby Object extenstion, The Object#blank? is now covering nil, blank and empty responses:



elad = nil

elad.blank? # true

and even empty containers



elad = []

elad.blank? # true

note: Remember that this is a Rails extension to Ruby’s Object, so it will not work on IRB, but will on console.
