Boolean Utils

Boolean Utils provides helpers for parsing boolean values from strings or other types. Use it when you receive values from forms, query params, or APIs as strings (e.g. "true", "false") and need a consistent boolean.

Import

import { parseBoolean } from '@js-smart/react-kit';

Basic usage

parseBoolean('true');   // true
parseBoolean('false');  // false
parseBoolean('TRUE');   // true (case-insensitive)
parseBoolean(true);     // true
parseBoolean(false);   // false
parseBoolean(null);     // false
parseBoolean(undefined); // false
parseBoolean('');       // false (any non-"true" string is false)

With query params or form data

const isActive = parseBoolean(searchParams.get('active'));
const rememberMe = parseBoolean(formData.get('rememberMe'));
