I have this method call I have to use…

financial_document.assets.length

But financial_document.assets could be nil.

I could use…

financial_document.assets.nil? ? '0' : financial_document.assets.length

Is there a less repetitive way to do that?

    Personally, I would use the or operator/keyword:

    (financial_document.assets or []).length
    

    Either way, .length is called on an array, giving you 0 if nil.
