You can use **`wannabe_bool`** gem: https://github.com/prodis/wannabe_bool ---------------------------------------- Feature #12012: Add Boolean method https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12012#change-61094 * Author: Andrey Koleshko * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- In Ruby we have methods with a capital letter which are used for implicit type casting. For example: `Array`, `String`, `Integer` and etc. But there is lack of one desired function that I recently define in all my projects - this is `Boolean`. I mean it would be great to have in Ruby the built-in function: ~~~ Boolean(nil) # => false Boolean("") # => true - I'm not sure about this. It's more convenient to have false here Boolean("false") # => true Boolean("0") # => false Boolean("1") # => false Boolean("test") # => true ~~~ What do you think, guys, about this suggestion? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
