Boolify

Basic library for being able to call a method on any object and determine whether it's intended to be a boolean of any type.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'boolify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install boolify

require 'boolify'
nil.boolify     #=> false
''.boolify      #=> false
'1'.boolify     #=> true
't'.boolify     #=> true
'true'.boolify  #=> true
'y'.boolify     #=> true
'yes'.boolify   #=> true
'yaarr'.boolify #=> true
'aye'.boolify   #=> true
[].boolify      #=> false
[:hey].boolify  #=> true
{}.boolify      #=> false
{a: 'a'}        #=> true

A good place to use it is inspecting parameters

do_something if params[:my_bool].boolify
