Boolean Methods ​

Boolean methods are used to convert and process boolean data.

Method Reference ​

toInt() ​

Converts a boolean value to a number. false converts to 0, true converts to 1.

Returns: Number

Examples:

javascript
{{ true.toInt() }}
// 1

{{ false.toInt() }}
// 0

{{ $('HTTP Request').body.isActive.toInt() }}
// Convert boolean status to number for calculations or statistics

Use Cases ​

1. Count Boolean Values ​

javascript
// Count number of active users
{{ $('HTTP Request').body.users
  .map(user => user.isActive.toInt())
  .sum() }}
// Returns the count of true values

2. Conditional Calculations ​

javascript
// Calculate discount based on condition
{{ $('HTTP Request').body.isPremium.toInt() * 10 }}
// Returns 10 for Premium users, 0 for regular users

3. Database Storage ​

javascript
// Convert boolean to number for database storage
{{ {
  userId: $('HTTP Request').body.userId,
  isActive: $('HTTP Request').body.isActive.toInt()
} }}
// Some databases use 0/1 to represent boolean values

Best Practices ​

1. Verify Data Type ​

javascript
// Ensure value is boolean before converting
{{ $('HTTP Request').body.isActive === true ? 1 : 0 }}

// Or use toInt
{{ $('HTTP Request').body.isActive.toInt() }}

2. Handle null/undefined ​

javascript
// Use default value to handle potentially null boolean
{{ ($('HTTP Request').body.isActive || false).toInt() }}
// null/undefined will be converted to false, then to 0

Convert Other Types to Boolean ​

While boolean methods only include toInt(), other types have methods to convert to boolean:

javascript
// Number to boolean
{{ (0).toBoolean() }}        // false
{{ (1).toBoolean() }}        // true
{{ (-5).toBoolean() }}       // true

// String to boolean
{{ "false".toBoolean() }}    // false
{{ "0".toBoolean() }}        // false
{{ "".toBoolean() }}         // false
{{ "no".toBoolean() }}       // false
{{ "true".toBoolean() }}     // true
{{ "hello".toBoolean() }}    // true
