validation error The inputName field must be true or false.

[bayukartiko]

if the value is string "true" / "false" / "yes" / "no", the validation rules of Boolean will fail as it said at the docs.

why not use filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN)?

If this is not feasible, could someone submit a PR to add support for these values on method_validateBoolean?

Thank you for considering this!

current laravel version: 11.31.0

for temporary solution:

add this in AppServiceProvider.php

Str::macro("toBoolean", function($value){
    return filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);
});
Validator::extend('isBoolean', function($attribute, $value, $parameters) {
    return is_bool(Str::toBoolean($value));
}, 'The :attribute field must be true or false.');

use in validation rule like: 'inputName' => ['required', 'isBoolean']
