To Boolean (String)

The To Boolean (String) node converts a string value to a boolean (true or false). It evaluates the input string and returns true if the string is "true" (case-insensitive), and false otherwise.

​
Inputs

  • a (string, default: "") - The input string to be converted to a boolean value.

​
Outputs

  • result (boolean) - The boolean result of the conversion. Returns true if the input string is "true" (case-insensitive), and false otherwise.

​
Configuration

This node does not have any configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Connect a string value to the a input of the To Boolean (String) node.
  2. The node will evaluate the input string and output the corresponding boolean value (true or false) from the result output.

​
Example

Suppose you have a string value that represents a boolean, such as "true" or "false", and you want to convert it to an actual boolean value for further processing in your spell.
  1. Add a To Boolean (String) node to your spell.
  2. Connect the string value (e.g., "true" or "false") to the a input of the node.
  3. The node will output the corresponding boolean value (true or false) from the result output.
  4. You can then use the boolean output in other nodes that expect a boolean input, such as a Branch node or a Filter node.
Here’s an example spell that demonstrates the usage of the To Boolean (String) node: In this example, the string value "true" is connected to the To Boolean (String) node, which converts it to the boolean value true. The boolean output is then connected to a Branch node, which executes “Action 1” if the value is true, and “Action 2” if the value is false.

​
Best Practices

  • Ensure that the input string is either "true" or "false" (case-insensitive) for accurate boolean conversion. Other string values will be considered as false.
  • Use the To Boolean (String) node when you have a string representation of a boolean value that needs to be converted to an actual boolean for further processing in your spell.

​
Common Issues

  • If the input string is not "true" or "false" (case-insensitive), the node will output false. Make sure to provide the correct string values for accurate boolean conversion.
