    Die Verwendung von booleans mit ${next-value|...} funktioniert leider nicht. Der String evaluiert dann immer zu true.

History

#1 Updated by J. Moringen about 8 years ago

The problem is that in ${next-value|DEFAULT}, DEFAULT can only be a string unless it is a variable reference.

Solutions could be:

  1. Requiring JSON-syntax in DEFAULT, but that seemed insane to me at the time. Consider for example
    "name": "${next-value|[ \"foo${bar|\\\"baz\\\\"}\", true ]}" 
    
  2. Special treatment of some strings in DEFAULT (and elsewhere?), i.e.
    ${next-value|true}  => true
    ${next-value|troo}  => "troo" 
    ${next-value|false} => true
    ${next-value|fawls} => "fawls" 
    

    but that would make it impossible to specify the string "true" and in a very surprising way, too.
  3. Work around the issue
    "false": false ; <- define in some very basic template
    "name": "${next-value|${false}}" 
    

    (I didn't have time to try this, but it should work)

You could simply "cast" the type from string to boolean at the final stage, where you know that a boolean is required.
If that is successul, fine. Otherwise, issue an error.

Anyway, I will try your third option tomorrow.
