Question

In a layout, I want to output certain areas, only when there is data for them.
This is easy for named partials, but how do I check for the default yield?

-if content_for nil
  #content.span-24
    = yield

Can I actually yield nothing at all?

Answer 1

Try

content_for?(name)

Instead of rendering the content, content_for? will give you the boolean you’re looking for.

UPDATE

Well, for the default case, you could do something like:

-content = yield
-if content.present?
  #content.span-24
    =content
