NAME

Data::Object::Boolean

ABSTRACT

Boolean Class for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

  package main;

  use Data::Object::Boolean;

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new; # false

DESCRIPTION

This package provides functions and representation for boolean values.

INHERITS

This package inherits behaviors from:

Data::Object::Kind

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:

Data::Object::Types

FUNCTIONS

This package implements the following functions:

false

  False() : Object

The False method returns a boolean object representing false.

False example #1

  Data::Object::Boolean::False(); # false

isfalse

  IsFalse(Maybe[Any] $arg) : Object

The IsFalse method returns a boolean object representing false if no arugments are passed, otherwise this function will return a boolean object based on the argument provided.

IsFalse example #1

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsFalse(); # true

IsFalse example #2

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsFalse(0); # true

IsFalse example #3

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsFalse(1); # false

istrue

  IsTrue() : Object

The IsTrue method returns a boolean object representing truth if no arugments are passed, otherwise this function will return a boolean object based on the argument provided.

IsTrue example #1

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsTrue(); # false

IsTrue example #2

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsTrue(1); # true

IsTrue example #3

  Data::Object::Boolean::IsTrue(0); # false

to_json

  TO_JSON(Any $arg) : Ref['SCALAR']

The TO_JSON method returns a scalar ref representing truthiness or falsiness based on the arguments passed, this function is commonly used by JSON encoders and instructs them on how they should represent the value.

TO_JSON example #1

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(1);

  $bool->TO_JSON; # \1

TO_JSON example #2

  Data::Object::Boolean::TO_JSON(
    Data::Object::Boolean::True()
  );

  # \1

TO_JSON example #3

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(0);

  $bool->TO_JSON(0); # \0

TO_JSON example #4

  Data::Object::Boolean::TO_JSON(
    Data::Object::Boolean::False()
  );

  # \0

true

  True() : Object

The True method returns a boolean object representing truth.

True example #1

  Data::Object::Boolean::True(); # true

type

  Type() : Str

The Type method returns either "True" or "False" based on the truthiness or falsiness of the argument provided.

Type example #1

  Data::Object::Boolean::Type(); # False

Type example #2

  Data::Object::Boolean::Type(1); # True

Type example #3

  Data::Object::Boolean::Type(0); # False

Type example #4

  Data::Object::Boolean::Type(
    Data::Object::Boolean::True()
  );

  # True

Type example #5

  Data::Object::Boolean::Type(
    Data::Object::Boolean::False()
  );

  # False

METHODS

This package implements the following methods:

new

  new(Maybe[Any] $arg) : Object

The new method returns a boolean object based on the value of the argument provided.

new example #1

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(1); # true

new example #2

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(0); # false

new example #3

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(''); # false

new example #4

  my $bool = Data::Object::Boolean->new(undef); # false
