EmptyFiles.Python
TL;DR Null Object pattern for files.
Contents
This project will create an empty file of a type requested. If possible, that file will be the smallest valid file for that type. For example, an empty jpg will be a 1x1 pixel jpg.
Setup
From pypi:
pip install empty-files
Usage
This code:
from empty_files.empty_files import create_empty_file
create_empty_file("temp/empty.jpg")
will create the following image
Null Object Pattern
Issue: null/None causes extra checks in order to avoid errors.
Solution: return an empty version of the object, so methods can be used normally.
Example:
if last_name returns "" instead of None,
we can write:
name_length = len(person.last_name())
instead of :
name_length = 0
if (person.last_name())
name_length = len(person.last_name())
Attributions
The empty files are taken from Simon Cropp's Empty Files.
