I'm trying to make the input takes only the value 99.999. I don't want to use MaxLength because it would not calculate the length of the decimal digits. I don't want to use any other functions that erase when it doesn't match a specific regex. I want it to stop it in the input.
function IsCurrencyNoMinus1 (e, thisobj, min, max) {
var keyCode = e.keyCode == 0 ? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
var ret = ((keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57) || (keyCode == 44) || (keyCode == 46) || (specialKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) != -1 && e.charCode != e.keyCode))
var inStr = $(thisobj).val();
if (ret && (keyCode == 45) && ((thisobj.selectionStart != 0) || (inStr.indexOf('-') != -1)))
ret = false;
if (ret && (keyCode == 46) && (inStr != '' && inStr.indexOf('.') != -1) && !(Math.abs(thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) == inStr.length)) {
ret = false;
}
var dotPos = (inStr.indexOf('.') != -1) ? inStr.indexOf('.') : inStr.length;
inStr = inStr.replace(/\,/g, '');
var parts = inStr.split('.');
var maxParts = max.toString().split('.');
if (ret && (inStr != '' && (keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57))) {
if ((parts[0].length >= maxParts[0].length) && ((thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) == 0)
&& (thisobj.selectionStart <= dotPos)) {
ret = false;
}
if (ret && (parts[1] != undefined && parts[1].length >= 2) && ((thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) == 0)
&& (thisobj.selectionStart > dotPos) && (thisobj.selectionStart <= dotPos + 3))
ret = false;
var firstPos = thisobj.selectionStart < thisobj.selectionEnd ? thisobj.selectionStart : thisobj.selectionEnd;
if (ret && (parts[0].length >= maxParts[0].length) && (parts[1] != undefined && parts[1].length >= 1)
&& ((dotPos - firstPos == 0 && Math.abs(thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) < 4)
|| (dotPos - firstPos == 1 && (Math.abs(thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) >= 2 && Math.abs(thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) < 4))))
ret = false;
}
if (Number(inStr) > max) {
thisobj.value = '';
ret = true;
}
if (Number(inStr) < min) {
thisobj.value = '';
ret = true;
}
// var re = new RegExp(/^\(?-?[0-9]{0,12}(\.[0-9]{0,2})?\)?$/)
// if (!re.test(inStr)) {
// thisobj.value = ""
// }
return ret
}
I found the solution! Please check the code below in case someone needs it.
function Format3DigitDecimal(e, thisobj, min, max)
{
var keyCode = e.keyCode == 0 ? e.charCode : e.keyCode
var ret = ((keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57) || (keyCode == 44) || (specialKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) != -1 && e.charCode != e.keyCode))
var inStr = $(thisobj).val()
inStr = inStr.replace(/\,/g, '')
if (ret && (inStr != '' && (keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57)))
{
if ((inStr.length >= max.toString().length) && ((thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) == 0))
{
ret = false
}
}
if (ret && (inStr != '' && (keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57)))
{
if ((inStr.length == 2) && ((thisobj.selectionStart - thisobj.selectionEnd) == 0))
{
ret = false
}
}
return ret
}
I have this code, which in time could be hard to read and maintain - numbers could come and go. How do I make this into an easy accessible maintainable list of conditions? Should I use an Array or something else?
var cs = 123456; //Some integer
if (cs >= 320000
&& cs <= 320026
|| cs == 320141
|| cs == 320143
|| cs == 320145
|| cs == 320147
|| cs == 320149
|| cs == 320151) {
new = 'Y';
} else if (cs >= 320100
&& cs <= 320112
|| cs >= 320114
&& cs <= 320116
|| cs >= 320123
&& cs <= 320128
|| cs == 320142
|| cs == 320144
|| cs == 320146
|| cs == 320148
|| cs == 320150
|| cs == 320152) {
new = 'N';
} else {
new = 'Unknown';
};
Yes, what you need is a array and an indexOf method.
Example:
if (cs >= 320000 && cs <= 320026 || $.inArray(value, valuesarray) > -1) {

This question already has answers here:
How can I convert a string to boolean in JavaScript?
(102 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
JavaScript has parseInt() and parseFloat(), but there's no parseBool or parseBoolean method in the global scope, as far as I'm aware.
I need a method that takes strings with values like "true" or "false" and returns a JavaScript Boolean.
Here's my implementation:
function parseBool(value) {
return (typeof value === "undefined") ?
false :
// trim using jQuery.trim()'s source
value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "").toLowerCase() === "true";
}
Is this a good function? Please give me your feedback.
Thanks!
I would be inclined to do a one liner with a ternary if.
var bool_value = value == "true" ? true : false
Edit: Even quicker would be to simply avoid using the a logical statement and instead just use the expression itself:
var bool_value = value == 'true';
This works because value == 'true' is evaluated based on whether the value variable is a string of 'true'. If it is, that whole expression becomes true and if not, it becomes false, then that result gets assigned to bool_value after evaluation.
You can use JSON.parse for that:
JSON.parse("true"); //returns boolean true
It depends how you wish the function to work.
If all you wish to do is test for the word 'true' inside the string, and define any string (or nonstring) that doesn't have it as false, the easiest way is probably this:
function parseBoolean(str) {
return /true/i.test(str);
}
If you wish to assure that the entire string is the word true you could do this:
function parseBoolean(str) {
return /^true$/i.test(str);
}
You can try the following:
function parseBool(val)
{
if ((typeof val === 'string' && (val.toLowerCase() === 'true' || val.toLowerCase() === 'yes')) || val === 1)
return true;
else if ((typeof val === 'string' && (val.toLowerCase() === 'false' || val.toLowerCase() === 'no')) || val === 0)
return false;
return null;
}
If it's a valid value, it returns the equivalent bool value otherwise it returns null.
You can use JSON.parse or jQuery.parseJSON and see if it returns true using something like this:
function test (input) {
try {
return !!$.parseJSON(input.toLowerCase());
} catch (e) { }
}
last but not least, a simple and efficient way to do it with a default value :
ES5
function parseBool(value, defaultValue) {
return (value == 'true' || value == 'false' || value === true || value === false) && JSON.parse(value) || defaultValue;
}
ES6 , a shorter one liner
const parseBool = (value, defaultValue) => ['true', 'false', true, false].includes(value) && JSON.parse(value) || defaultValue
JSON.parse is efficient to parse booleans
Personally I think it's not good, that your function "hides" invalid values as false and - depending on your use cases - doesn't return true for "1".
Another problem could be that it barfs on anything that's not a string.
I would use something like this:
function parseBool(value) {
if (typeof value === "string") {
value = value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "").toLowerCase();
if (value === "true" || value === "false")
return value === "true";
}
return; // returns undefined
}
And depending on the use cases extend it to distinguish between "0" and "1".
(Maybe there is a way to compare only once against "true", but I couldn't think of something right now.)
Why not keep it simple?
var parseBool = function(str) {
if (typeof str === 'string' && str.toLowerCase() == 'true')
return true;
return (parseInt(str) > 0);
}
You can add this code:
function parseBool(str) {
if (str.length == null) {
return str == 1 ? true : false;
} else {
return str == "true" ? true : false;
}
}
Works like this:
parseBool(1) //true
parseBool(0) //false
parseBool("true") //true
parseBool("false") //false
Wood-eye be careful.
After looking at all this code, I feel obligated to post:
Let's start with the shortest, but very strict way:
var str = "true";
var mybool = JSON.parse(str);
And end with a proper, more tolerant way:
var parseBool = function(str)
{
// console.log(typeof str);
// strict: JSON.parse(str)
if(str == null)
return false;
if (typeof str === 'boolean')
{
if(str === true)
return true;
return false;
}
if(typeof str === 'string')
{
if(str == "")
return false;
str = str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
if(str.toLowerCase() == 'true' || str.toLowerCase() == 'yes')
return true;
str = str.replace(/,/g, '.');
str = str.replace(/^\s*\-\s*/g, '-');
}
// var isNum = string.match(/^[0-9]+$/) != null;
// var isNum = /^\d+$/.test(str);
if(!isNaN(str))
return (parseFloat(str) != 0);
return false;
}
Testing:
var array_1 = new Array(true, 1, "1",-1, "-1", " - 1", "true", "TrUe", " true ", " TrUe", 1/0, "1.5", "1,5", 1.5, 5, -3, -0.1, 0.1, " - 0.1", Infinity, "Infinity", -Infinity, "-Infinity"," - Infinity", " yEs");
var array_2 = new Array(null, "", false, "false", " false ", " f alse", "FaLsE", 0, "00", "1/0", 0.0, "0.0", "0,0", "100a", "1 00", " 0 ", 0.0, "0.0", -0.0, "-0.0", " -1a ", "abc");
for(var i =0; i < array_1.length;++i){ console.log("array_1["+i+"] ("+array_1[i]+"): " + parseBool(array_1[i]));}
for(var i =0; i < array_2.length;++i){ console.log("array_2["+i+"] ("+array_2[i]+"): " + parseBool(array_2[i]));}
for(var i =0; i < array_1.length;++i){ console.log(parseBool(array_1[i]));}
for(var i =0; i < array_2.length;++i){ console.log(parseBool(array_2[i]));}
I like the solution provided by RoToRa (try to parse given value, if it has any boolean meaning, otherwise - don't). Nevertheless I'd like to provide small modification, to have it working more or less like Boolean.TryParse in C#, which supports out params. In JavaScript it can be implemented in the following manner:
var BoolHelpers = {
tryParse: function (value) {
if (typeof value == 'boolean' || value instanceof Boolean)
return value;
if (typeof value == 'string' || value instanceof String) {
value = value.trim().toLowerCase();
if (value === 'true' || value === 'false')
return value === 'true';
}
return { error: true, msg: 'Parsing error. Given value has no boolean meaning.' }
}
}
The usage:
var result = BoolHelpers.tryParse("false");
if (result.error) alert(result.msg);
stringjs has a toBoolean() method:
http://stringjs.com/#methods/toboolean-tobool
S('true').toBoolean() //true
S('false').toBoolean() //false
S('hello').toBoolean() //false
S(true).toBoolean() //true
S('on').toBoolean() //true
S('yes').toBoolean() //true
S('TRUE').toBoolean() //true
S('TrUe').toBoolean() //true
S('YES').toBoolean() //true
S('ON').toBoolean() //true
S('').toBoolean() //false
S(undefined).toBoolean() //false
S('undefined').toBoolean() //false
S(null).toBoolean() //false
S(false).toBoolean() //false
S({}).toBoolean() //false
S(1).toBoolean() //true
S(-1).toBoolean() //false
S(0).toBoolean() //false
I shamelessly converted Apache Common's toBoolean to JavaScript:

Enough to using eval javascript function to convert string to boolean
eval('true')
eval('false')
