Check empty? of variable for Case/When

Rails
1

I have this:

case child.name
when @collection.location_tag
@article.location = child.content
when @collection.content_tag
@article.content = child.content
when @collection.docno_tag
@article.docno = child.content
when @collection.date_tag
temp_date = child.content
end

is there a way to check whether the @collection.attributes are empty
or not before to evaluate them in the “When” clause?

I don’t understand what you mean, can you be more explicit?
