isTrue.js

A useful method to check if a javascript object evaluates to true

Getting started

Bower:

bower install isTrue

npm:

npm install istrue --save

Or clone from github:

git clone https://github.com/codeocelot/istrue.git

node:

require("istrue");

html embedded js:

<script src="./path/to/main.js" type="text/javascript">

How to use

"does this eval to true".isTrue() === true

"".isTrue() === false

Numbers, Arrays & Objects too! (don't forget the paratheses, otherwise js thinks it's a decimal!)

(0).isTrue() === false

(1).isTrue() === true

({}).isTrue() === true // js likes parans around obj/array declarations

([]).isTrue() === true

run tests (mocha,assert):

mocha test.js

Future

I can't think of a future for extentending this simple function. Share your thoughts if you have ideas!
