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'
def presence
self if present?

# +nil+ is blank:
#
# nil.blank? # => true
#
def blank?

end
end
class FalseClass
# +false+ is blank:

# false.blank? # => true
#
def blank?

class TrueClass
# +true+ is not blank:
#
# true.blank? # => false
#
def blank?
false

# An array is blank if it's empty:

# [].blank? # => true

# A hash is blank if it's empty:

class String
# A string is blank if it's empty or contains whitespaces only:
#
# "".blank? # => true
# " ".blank? # => true
# " ".blank? # => true
# " something here ".blank? # => false
#
