It's not ActiveSupport, it's not FastBlank, it's Blankman!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'blankman'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install blankman

Check if an object is blank?

some_string = ""
Blankman.blank?(some_string)  # => true

Check if an object is present (not blank)?

some_string = "Blankman!"
Blankman.present?(some_string) # => true

If you really want to start fighting empty string crime, some bam, zap, pow is required! Kick butt with kapow!

require "blankman/kapow"

"".blank? # => true
"Blankman!".blank? # => false
