1. Using the test() function in Javascript
The first way to convert a string to boolean is using the test() function. This function checks if the string value is there in the regular experession and if it is there it will return true and if it is not there it will return false.
/i at the end of regular expression is for case insensitive match. Want to know more about the test() function check this guide Javascript test() function.
2. Using the comparison operator in Javascript
The second method is using the comparison operators so we have a stringVar which has the string value ‘true’ then we have a boolVar in that we check if the stringVar is equal to the value ‘true’
If the value matches it will set the value of boolVar to true and if does not matches it will set it to false. As you can see we have used the javascript comparison operator ”==” to compare the values.
3. Using the ternary operator in Javascript
Another way of converting a string to boolean by using ternary operators in Javascript. This is also similar to the second method in this we just use ternary operators if the values are matche then it will return true or else false.
4. Using the JSON.parse() method in Javascript
This is one of the easiest method to convert a string to boolean in javascript we will use JSON to convert string to boolean. The JSON.parse() method parses a string as JSON and converts it into an object corresponding to the given text.
So if the value of the string is true then the boolVar will be converted to boolean true or if value is false it will converted to false.
