Boolean strings

[sillvva]

One issue I ran into was that the decode function doesn't parse "true" or "false" strings to their corresponding boolean values. Both just result in true. To get false, you need to exclude the field from the form data altogether.

I think this could be an area for improvement.

• True: any value, except "false", "0"
• False: "false", "0", excluded

Great idea. I will think about it. Feel free to create a PR if you have time.

Here is the code located: https://github.com/fabian-hiller/decode-formdata/blob/main/src/utils/getFieldValue/getFieldValue.ts#L19-L21

Maybe this is the solution:

if (info?.booleans?.includes(templateName)) {
  return value !== 'false' && value !== '0';
}

I haven't taken the time to study the code yet, but that looks good to me.

Will add it later
