module Virtus
  class Attribute

    # Boolean attribute allows true or false values to be set
    # Additionally it adds boolean reader method, like "admin?"
    #
    # @example
    #   class Post
    #     include Virtus
    #
    #     attribute :published, Boolean
    #   end
    #
    #   post = Post.new(:published => false)
    #   post.published?  # => false
    #
    class Boolean < Object
      primitive       TrueClass
      coercion_method :to_boolean

      # Returns if the given value is either true or false
      #
      # @example
      #   boolean = Virtus::Attribute::Boolean.new(:bool)
      #   boolean.value_coerced?(true)    # => true
      #   boolean.value_coerced?(false)   # => true
      #   boolean.value_coerced?(1)       # => false
      #   boolean.value_coerced?('true')  # => false
      #
      # @return [Boolean]
      #
      # @api public
