true sting to true in rails

Certainly! You can convert a string "true" to a boolean true in Ruby on Rails using the following steps:

1. Retrieve the string: Obtain the string "true" from your data or input.

2. Check and convert: Use the ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.cast method to convert the string to a boolean. This method will check the string and return true if it matches "true" (case insensitive), and false otherwise.

ruby string_value = "true" boolean_value = ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.cast(string_value)

In this case, boolean_value will be true.

This process utilizes the ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.cast method provided by ActiveRecord to handle the conversion of the string "true" to the boolean value true.
