JE::Boolean(3pm)

💖 JE::Boolean 💖

okay bestie, so this page is all about JE::Boolean — that's the little Perl class that does JavaScript boolean primitive values ✨ like, the actual true / false vibe, not the fancy wrapper object.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing in action, no cap:

use JE;
use JE::Boolean;

$j = JE->new;

$js_true  = new JE::Boolean $j, 1;
$js_false = new JE::Boolean $j, 0;

$js_true ->value; # returns 1
$js_false->value; # returns ""

"$js_true"; # returns "true"

$js_true->to_object; # returns a new JE::Object::Boolean

like, look at her go 🫶 she really said "I contain multitudes."

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this class implements JavaScript boolean values for JE. periodt. 💅

now here's the part where people get confused, and honestly? valid. 🙈 The difference between this and JE::Object::Boolean is that that module implements boolean objects, while this module implements the primitive values. so like, JE::Boolean is the raw, unbothered, main-character primitive, and JE::Object::Boolean is the object that wraps around it. two different girls, two different jobs, both iconic 👑

and the way that stringification and boolean operators are overloaded?? literally the bestie behavior. she just knows what you mean when you say "$js_true". no extra effort required. 💖
