Check empty string in Swift?

Question

In Objective C, one could do the following to check for strings:

if ([myString isEqualToString:@""]) {
    NSLog(@"myString IS empty!");
} else {
    NSLog(@"myString IS NOT empty, it is: %@", myString);
}

How does one detect empty strings in Swift?

Answer 1

There is now the built in ability to detect empty string with .isEmpty:

if emptyString.isEmpty {
    print("Nothing to see here")
}
