boolify is case-insensitive and will convert any string of "true" or "false" in to the
appropriate boolean.
This is helpful for handling checkboxes in express' req.body
` js`
app.put('/users/:username', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body.someCheckbox) // 'true'
req.body = boolify(req.body)
console.log(req.body.someCheckbox) // true
})
If provided an object, boolify will recursively convert all values.
` js`
var result = boolify({one: {fish: {two: {fish: 'true'}}}})
console.log(result.one.fish.two.fish)
// true
With npm do:
`
npm install boolify
* yn supports additional values for booleans, both uppercase and lowercase, and returns null when a value is recognized is neither true or false`
