## Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
$ npm install boolean
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Quick start
|
||
|
|
||
|
First you need to add a reference to boolean in your application:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
const { boolean } = require('boolean');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you use TypeScript, use the following code instead:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```typescript
|
||
|
import { boolean } from 'boolean';
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
To verify a value for its boolean value, call the `boolean` function and provide the value in question as parameter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
console.log(boolean('true')); // => true
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `boolean` function considers the following values to be equivalent to `true`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `true` (boolean)
|
||
|
- `'true'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'TRUE'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'t'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'T'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'yes'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'YES'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'y'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'Y'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'on'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'ON'` (string)
|
||
|
- `'1'` (string)
|
||
|
- `1` (number)
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition to the primitive types mentioned above, boolean also supports their object wrappers `Boolean`, `String`, and `Number`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
_Please note that if you provide a `string` or `String` object, it will be trimmed._
|
||
|
|
||
|
All other values, including `undefined` and `null` are considered to be `false`.
