instance method `presence`

Ruby on Rails 7.1.6

Since v2.3.18

Compare with:

presence()

Returns the receiver if it’s present otherwise returns nil. object.presence is equivalent to

object.present? ? object : nil

For example, something like

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'

@return [Object]
