Boolean

This module provides a simple utility function to parse the boolean representation of a given string.

Usage

Import the parse function from the module:

import { parse } from "https://deno.land/x/boolean/mod.ts";

The parse function accepts a string as an optional parameter and returns a boolean value based on the input.

const result = parse("true");
console.log(result); // true

const result2 = parse("false");
console.log(result2); // false

const result3 = parse("0");
console.log(result3); // false

const result4 = parse("1");
console.log(result4); // true

const result5 = parse(null);
console.log(result5); // false

const result6 = parse(undefined);
console.log(result6); // false
