Boolean

The Boolean field renders a input[type="checkbox"] on Form views and a nice green check icon/red X icon on the Show and Index views.

field :is_published,
  as: :boolean,
  name: 'Published',
  true_value: 'yes',
  false_value: 'no'

Options

-> true_value

An extra value that should count as true, on top of the ones Avo always recognizes. Use it when your column stores something like "yes" or 1.

Default value

true

Possible values

Any value (string, symbol, integer, etc.). The field always treats "true", "1", and the configured true_value as true.

field :is_published, as: :boolean, true_value: "yes"

-> false_value

An extra value that should count as false, on top of the ones Avo always recognizes. Use it when your column stores something like "no" or 0.

Default value

false

Possible values

Any value (string, symbol, integer, etc.). The field always treats "false", "0", and the configured false_value as false.

field :is_published, as: :boolean, false_value: "no"

-> nil_as_indeterminate

When true, nil values render as a gray minus-circle icon on Show and Index views instead of the default dash. This keeps the nil value intact while making it more visible.

Default value

false

Possible values

true or false

field :is_published, as: :boolean, nil_as_indeterminate: true

-> as_toggle

Render the field as a toggle on the form views.

Default value

false

Possible values

true or false

field :is_published, as: :boolean, as_toggle: true
