instance method `existence`

Ruby on Rails 8.1.2

Since v7.0.10

Compare with:

existence()

Returns the receiver if the named file exists otherwise returns nil. pathname.existence is equivalent to

pathname.exist? ? pathname : nil

For example, something like

content = pathname.read if pathname.exist?

becomes

content = pathname.existence&.read

@return [Pathname]
