technicalpicklesContentGiven
Adds a very small helper to your views for determining if content_for :foo was used.
This means you don't always have to render the containing markup around yield :foo.
Example
Before content_given:
<!-- In app/views/layouts/application.html.erb %>
<html>
<body>
<div id="sidebar">
<%= yield :sidebar
</div>
<div id="content">
<%= yield %>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<div id="sidebar"> is always rendered.
After content_given:
<!-- In app/views/layouts/application.html.erb %>
<html>
<body>
<% if content_given? :sidebar %>
<div id="sidebar">
<%= yield :sidebar
</div>
<% end %>
<div id="content">
<%= yield %>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<div id="sidebar"> is only rendered if you used content_for :sidebar
