Active Model Type Boolean ↑

A class that behaves like a boolean type, including rules for coercion of user input.

Coercion ↑

Values set from user input will first be coerced into the appropriate ruby type. Coercion behavior is roughly mapped to Ruby’s boolean semantics.

  • “false”, “f” , “0”, 0 or any other value in FALSE_VALUES will be coerced to false

  • Empty strings are coerced to nil

  • All other values will be coerced to true
