chrisrueger opened a new pull request, #111: URL: https://github.com/apache/freemarker/pull/111
- New built-in for Strings `?is_blank` - `?is_blank` returns `true` if string is `null`, `empty` or contains only whitespaces - See testcases - it is similar to `somestring?trim?length == 0` (or the like), but shorter and avoids a new String object as `?trim` would produce ## Why? It is a typical check we do and it would be nice to have this in FM - if there are no objections against it. I was thinking about adding `?is_empty` too (as an shorter alternative to `somestring?length == 0`) but wanted to confirm first. Let me know if that should be added too. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
