API

Constants

• WhatIsFalse.ALL = 'all'
• WhatIsFalse.TRUE = 'true'
• WhatIsFalse.FALSE = 'false'

Static Methods

WhatIsFalse

See: WhatIsFalse.factory for details on instantiation.

WhatIsFalse.factory([options])

WhatIsFalse instance creator

• options - options (optional)
  • operand - boolean used for comparison (default false)
  • result - string WhatIsFalse.FALSE or WhatIsFalse.TRUE or WhatIsFalse.ALL (default): only true, false or all comparison results with operand will be displayed, respectively.
  • output - string WhatIsFalse.JSON or empty (defalut)

Instance Methods

instance.toString()

See: instance.compare for details.

instance.compare()

Make the comparison and return the result as string.

instance.eq2(item)

Compare item to false (or true if operand option is true) and return the comparison result.
