com.vaadin.flow.data.converter.StringToBooleanConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class StringToBooleanConverter extends Object implements Converter<String,Boolean>

A converter that converts from String to Boolean and back. The String representation is given by Boolean.toString() or provided in constructor StringToBooleanConverter(String, String, String).

Leading and trailing white spaces are ignored when converting from a String.

For language-dependent representation, subclasses should overwrite getFalseString(Locale) and getTrueString(Locale)
