Installation

``
npm install @wkovacs64/booleanize
`

Usage

The primary purpose of this package is to deal with environment variables received as strings. For
example, SOME_CONDITIONAL=false will be truthy if you just pass it to the Boolean constructor as
it comes through as a non-empty string. Instead, pass it to booleanize and you will get the value
back that I expect. Please note that it may not be the value YOU expect, but I created this
primarily for myself. 🙂

Basically, the following strings are considered falsy:

- 'null'
- 'undefined'
- 'false'
- 'no'
- '0'

$3

`


.env


SOME_CONDITIONAL=false
`

`ts
import { booleanize } from '@wkovacs64/booleanize';

Boolean(process.env.SOME_CONDITIONAL); // true 😕
booleanize(process.env.SOME_CONDITIONAL); // false 😊
