Flask_SQLAlchemy is claiming my value is not boolean

Step 1: Define the Model

from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

db = SQLAlchemy()

class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    username = db.Column(db.String(80), unique=True, nullable=False)
    active = db.Column(db.Boolean)

Step 2: Create an Instance

user = User(username='example', active='yes')

Step 3: Add and Commit the Instance

db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()

Explanation for Step 1: In the first step, we define the model using Flask-SQLAlchemy. We create an instance of the SQLAlchemy class and define a User model class that inherits from db.Model. Within the User class, we define three columns: id as an integer primary key, username as a string with a maximum length of 80 characters, and active as a boolean.

Explanation for Step 2: In the second step, we create an instance of the User model, setting the username to 'example' and the active attribute to 'yes'. However, the issue here is that the active attribute is expecting a boolean value, but we are providing a string 'yes' instead.

Explanation for Step 3: In the third step, we add the user instance to the session and commit the changes to the database. However, since the active attribute is expecting a boolean value, the attempted insertion of the 'yes' string will result in a validation error, as it does not correspond to a boolean value.
