fromStringOrThrow

public static bool fromStringOrThrow(string boolAsStr)

The bool equivalent of the string value if the string is a valid bool value.

Parameters

boolAsStr

The string value to convert.

Converts a string to a valid bool value or throws an exception if the value cannot be converted. If the string value is not a Boolean true or false value, System.Exceptions.InvalidBooleanException will be thrown.

For string values that are not Boolean (true or false), System.Exceptions.InvalidBooleanException is thrown:

import System;
import System.Exceptions;

try {
    bool x = Boolean.fromStringOrThrow("true");
}
catch(InvalidBooleanException e) {
    // Will not execute because the string value is a valid Boolean
    Console.error(e);
}

try {
    bool y = Boolean.fromStringOrThrow("abc");
}
catch(InvalidBooleanException e) {
    Console.error(e);
}

import System; import System.Exceptions;   bool valid1 = Boolean.fromStringOrThrow("true"); Console.log(valid1); // true bool valid2 = Boolean.fromStringOrThrow("false"); Console.log(valid2); // false
