Oihana Php Arango

toBool.php

Converts a value of any type into a boolean.


    
                    toBool(mixed $value) : string

This helper wraps the ArangoDB AQL function TO_BOOL(), which casts the provided value to a boolean. The conversion rules follow AQL semantics:

Example AQL usage:

TO_BOOL(doc.isActive)   // converts doc.isActive to boolean
TO_BOOL("")             // returns false
TO_BOOL(1)              // returns true

example

use function oihana\arango\db\functions\toBool;

$expr = toBool('doc.isActive');
// Produces: 'TO_BOOL(doc.isActive)'
