Recipe 20 strftime nil errors

Charles Harvey 5 posts

Hi Mike-

Thanks for a great book. I have been using the beta book for a fewmonths and am happy to have my hard copy now.

Is there a way to eliminate nil errors in a dry way?

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.strftime

I know I can do something like
<%= order.placed_at.to_s(:chatty) unless order.nil? %>

to eliminate the problem in the date_time_format.rb or somewhere else so it is dry.
Any ideas?

Best Regards-

Charles
