This module is a helper module to be used by other modules; it may not designed to be invoked directly. See RuneScape:Lua/Helper modules for a full list and more information. For a full list of modules using this helper click here

Function	Type	Use
is_empty(arg)	String	Returns true if arg is not defined or contains only whitespace
has_content(arg)	String	Returns true if arg exists and does not only contain whitespace
default_to(arg1,arg2)	String, Any value	If arg1 exists and does not only contain whitespace, the function returns arg1, otherwise returns arg2
defaults{ {arg1,arg2},...}	{String, Any value}...	Does the same as default_to() run over every table passed; for technical reasons, all nil are replaced with false
