How to use JSON.parse() Method In Typescript

In this approach, we make the use of `JSON.Parse()` method to parse the string into its actual boolean form. But before parsing we makes sure that the string is converted into lowercase.

Syntax:

function stringToBoolean(str: string): boolean {
return JSON.parse(str.toLowerCase());
}

Example: This TypeScript program utilizes JSON parsing in the `stringToBoolean` function to convert a string to a boolean, demonstrated by transforming ‘False’ to `false` and displaying the result.

Javascript
function stringToBoolean(str: string): boolean {
    return JSON
     .parse(str.toLowerCase());
}

const result: boolean = stringToBoolean('False');
console.log(result); 

Output

false

How to Convert String to Boolean in TypeScript ?

In Typescript, sometimes you receive the data as strings but need to work with boolean values or identify the boolean equivalent of it.

There are several approaches to convert string to boolean in TypeScript which are as follows:

  • Using Conditional Statement
  • Using JSON.parse() Method
  • Using Type Assertion
  • Using Regular Expressions

Using Conditional Statement

In this approach, we simply use a conditional statement to compare the input string with a boolean value (true/false). If the comparison returns true, that ensures the original string was `true`. In the case where the comparison does not return true, that means the original string was something other than `true`....

Using JSON.parse() Method

In this approach, we make the use of `JSON.Parse()` method to parse the string into its actual boolean form. But before parsing we makes sure that the string is converted into lowercase....

Using Type Assertion

In this approach, we use type assertion to explicitly declare the string as boolean. In this case also, we first need to convert the string into its lowercase....

Using Regular Expressions

In this approach, we employ regular expressions to match common boolean representations within the input string. By defining patterns for boolean values like “true”, “false”, “yes”, “no”, “1”, and “0”, we can accurately determine the boolean equivalent of the input string....
