# frozen_string_literal: true

# Helper that sets attributes to nil prior to validation if they
# are blank (are false, empty or contain only whitespace), to avoid
# unnecessarily persisting empty strings.
#
# Model usage:
#
#   class User < ApplicationRecord
#     include NullifyIfBlank
#
#     nullify_if_blank :name, :email
#   end
#
#
# Test usage:
#
#   RSpec.describe User do
#     it { is_expected.to nullify_if_blank(:name) }
#     it { is_expected.to nullify_if_blank(:email) }
#   end
#
