I have a simple HTML select dropwdown in which the user can change between the following values
<select id="changeIsActive">
<option value = true>Active</option>
<option value = false>Inactive</option>
<option>All</option>
</select>
I then have an event that binds to ^ that "converts" the String values into actual Booleans. And the Booleans then get passed to a Mongo Query Object for the Server to filter on.
'change #changeIsActive'(e, template) {
let retVal;
switch (e.target.value) {
case "true":
retVal = true;
break;
case "false":
retVal = false;
break;
case "All":
retVal = null;
default:
break;
}
}
Is there a better way of converting the String literal of "true" and "false" to their Boolean values? Thanks
'change #changeIsActive'(e, template) {
const obj = {
'true':true,
'false':false,
'All':null
}
const retVal = obj[e.target.value]
}
