Logical functions for Bicep
Bicep provides the bool
function for converting values to a boolean.
Most of the logical functions in Azure Resource Manager templates are replaced with logical operators in Bicep.
bool(arg1)
Converts the parameter to a boolean.
Namespace: sys.
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
arg1 | Yes | string or int | The value to convert to a boolean. String value "true" with any combination of upper and lower case characters (for example "True", "TRUE", "tRue", "true") are considered to be equivalent and represent the boolean value of true , otherwise false . Integer value 0 is considered to be false and all other integers are considered to be true . |
A boolean of the converted value.
The following example shows how to use bool with a string or integer.
output trueString1 bool = bool('true')
output trueString2 bool = bool('trUe')
output falseString1 bool = bool('false')
output falseString2 bool = bool('falSe')
output trueInt2 bool = bool(2)
output trueInt1 bool = bool(1)
output trueIntNeg1 bool = bool(-1)
output falseInt0 bool = bool(0)
The output from the preceding example with the default values is:
Name | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
trueString1 | Bool | true |
trueString2 | Bool | true |
falseString1 | Bool | false |
falseString2 | Bool | false |
trueInt2 | Bool | true |
trueInt1 | Bool | true |
trueIntNeg1 | Bool | true |
falseInt | Bool | false |
