Checking for Blank using v::not and v::notBlank ?

[Vongalin]

Hi! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful package. Slowly, I have transitioned the validations in my code over to this package (an internal site only). So far I haven't run into any major issues or setbacks; however, I'm not sure if I am doing this one particular type of validation correctly.

My original code was this :
if ($postalcode === "") {
I then tested and was using this :
if (v::stringType()->max(0)->validate($postalcode)) {
and then finally have settled on this :
if (v::not(v::notBlank())->validate($postalcode)) {

Is my current usage the best/proper way to validate blank/empty strings ? I was hoping to find something along the lines of isBlank but I didn't see anything in the documentation nor did I find anything else that I could use.

Thank you for any suggestions that you may have !

Hi @Vongalin ! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply, I was a bit out of open-source for a while, and I completely missed the GitHub Discussions!

What did you end up doing in the end?

Personally, I use Validation more for complex validations. I think a $postalcode === "" is probably more clear than v::equals('')->validate()
