Reuben Pereira 0e7a9e46d2 Allow blank values to be stored in reactive cache
Reactive caching concern was using .present? to determine if it got
a valid value from the cache. This returns false for values such as
false, [], {}. Change this check to !.nil? instead.

# frozen_string_literal: true
# The ReactiveCaching concern is used to fetch some data in the background and
# store it in the Rails cache, keeping it up-to-date for as long as it is being
# requested. If the data hasn't been requested for +reactive_cache_lifetime+,
# it stop being refreshed, and then be removed.
#
# Example of use:
#
# class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
# include ReactiveCaching
#
# self.reactive_cache_key = ->(thing) { ["foo", thing.id] }
#
# after_save :clear_reactive_cache!
#
# def calculate_reactive_cache
# # Expensive operation here. The return value of this method is cached
# end
#
# def result
# with_reactive_cache do |data|
# # ...
# end
# end
# end
#
# In this example, the first time `#result` is called, it will return `nil`.
# However, it will enqueue a background worker to call `#calculate_reactive_cache`
# and set an initial cache lifetime of ten minutes.
#
# Each time the background job completes, it stores the return value of
# `#calculate_reactive_cache`. It is also re-enqueued to run again after
# `reactive_cache_refresh_interval`, so keeping the stored value up to date.
# Calculations are never run concurrently.
#
# Calling `#result` while a value is in the cache will call the block given to
# `#with_reactive_cache`, yielding the cached value. It will also extend the
# lifetime by `reactive_cache_lifetime`.
#
# Once the lifetime has expired, no more background jobs will be enqueued and
# calling `#result` will again return `nil` - starting the process all over
# again
