BooleanMethods

The BooleanMethods class contains one-liners for handling boolean primitives and Boolean objects in Gloop.

Recommended for use in Gloop only

In Groovy, you can use methods from the org.apache.commons.lang3.BooleanUtils class instead for your boolean-operation needs. BooleanMethods extends this class but adds a few more methods. Their contents are more or less the same.

You can use these methods in both Gloop and Groovy. Below is a snippet showing how to use BooleanMethods's instance extension methods:

// Declare object containing boolean value
Object object = "true"

// Convert object to boolean
def objectBoolean = object.toBoolean()

// Assert that the value is true
assert objectBoolean == true

// Declare string containg boolean value
String string = "false"

// Convert string to boolean
def stringBoolean = string.toBoolean()

// Assert that the value is false
assert stringBoolean == false

// Create an array containing the two values
boolean[] bools = [objectBoolean, stringBoolean]

// Do an xor to the array
def result = bools.xor()

// Assert that the result is true
assert result == true
