Makes boolean operations work as in Python or JavaScript
including net.caoticode.boolex._ allows to:
- use any value where booleans are expected (like in an if expression)
- use && and || with any value: they work like the usual && and || boolean operators, but instead of returning a boolean, they return the value associated with the "truth" or "falsity" of the expression
for example:
import net.caoticode.boolex._
val something = "Hi!"
val nothing = ""
(nothing || something) == "Hi!" // :Dthe values considered false are:
- empty Strings
- a Number equal to 0
- an empty Traversable
- the Boolean false
- null and None
add the following line to sbt build file
libraryDependencies += "net.caoticode.boolex" %% "boolex" % "1.0.0"
or clone and package it manually
git clone https://github.com/mdread/boolex.git
cd boolex
sbt package
The library is cross compiled for scala 2.10/2.11
