Does anyone use "true" or "false" when setting a query string param for a bool? or do most people use "1" or "0". I would be curious to know the consensus out there.
What. We now handle boolean query parameters in a more explicit way. For query parameters that are defined as a boolean type in our documentation, the case-insensitive strings true and 1 will be handled as a true value, and the case-insensitive strings false and 0 will be handled as the false value.
You can also use the primitive boolean type for @RequestParam in place of Boolean . In this case, Spring automatically assigns false . For example, the following isCanceled param is optional. When you hit the URI http://localhost:8080/orderStatus , then the Spring assigns false to the isCanceled primitive.
To convert Boolean to String in Java, use the toString() method. For this, firstly, we have declared two booleans. String str1 = new Boolean(bool1). toString(); String str2 = new Boolean(bool2).
What are query string parameters? Query string parameters are extensions of a website's base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) loaded by a web browser or client application. Originally query strings were used to record the content of an HTML form or web form on a given page.
I do prefer "1/0", because it doesn't fall under localization requirements.
bool isTrue = Request.QueryString["value"] == "1";
It may be worth mentioning that when using ASP.NET Core and binding via [FromQuery] you are forced to use boolean values as arguments.
[HttpGet("/api/foo")] public Task<NoContentResult> FooAction([FromQuery(Name = "bar")] bool isBar) { /*...*/ }
This will work:
GET /api/foo?bar=true
Passing an integer will result in an invalid ModelState
returned by ASP.NET Core's ModelBinder
GET /api/foo?bar=1
