## Installation

```shell
$ npm install boolean
```

## Quick start

First you need to add a reference to boolean in your application:

```javascript
const { boolean } = require('boolean');
```

If you use TypeScript, use the following code instead:

```typescript
import { boolean } from 'boolean';
```

To verify a value for its boolean value, call the `boolean` function and provide the value in question as parameter.

```javascript
console.log(boolean('true')); // => true
```

The `boolean` function considers the following values to be equivalent to `true`:

-   `true` (boolean)
-   `'true'` (string)
-   `'TRUE'` (string)
-   `'t'` (string)
-   `'T'` (string)
-   `'yes'` (string)
-   `'YES'` (string)
-   `'y'` (string)
-   `'Y'` (string)
-   `'on'` (string)
-   `'ON'` (string)
-   `'1'` (string)
-   `1` (number)

_Please note that if you provide a string, it will be trimmed._

All other values, including `undefined` and `null` are considered to be `false`.
