BooleanConverter

Description

The BooleanConverter class allows you to convert different values to boolean values using the following rules:

• Numbers: <>0 are true, =0 are false

• Strings: “true”, “yes”, “T”, “Y”, “1” are true; “false”, “no”, “F”, “N” are false

• DateTime: <>0 total milliseconds are true, =0 are false

static to_Boolean(value: Any): bool

• value: Any - the value to convert.
• returns: bool - boolean value or false when conversion is not supported.

to_boolean_with_default

Converts value into boolean or returns default value when conversion is not possible

static to_boolean_with_default(value: Any, default_value: bool = False): bool

• value: Any - the value to convert.
• default_value: bool - the default value
• returns: bool - boolean value or default when conversion is not supported.

to_nullable_boolean

Converts value into boolean or returns None when conversion is not possible.

static to_nullable_boolean(value: Any): bool

• value: Any - the value to convert.
• returns: bool - boolean value or None when convertion is not supported.

Examples

value1 = BooleanConverter.to_nullable_boolean(True)     # Returns True
value2 = BooleanConverter.to_nullable_boolean("yes")    # Returns True
value3 = BooleanConverter.to_nullable_boolean(123)      # Returns None
value4 = BooleanConverter.to_nullable_boolean({})       # Returns None

value5 = BooleanConverter.to_boolean_with_default(True,"verdadero")     # Returns True
value6 = BooleanConverter.to_boolean_with_default(123,"verdadero")      # Returns verdadero

value7 = BooleanConverter.to_boolean("yes")     # Returns True
