rails parse boolean

# Assuming you have a boolean value in a Rails model, let's say 'is_active'

# Step 1: Retrieve the boolean attribute from the model instance
is_active = @your_model_instance.is_active

# Step 2: Convert the boolean value to a string representation
boolean_string = is_active.to_s

# Step 3: If necessary, parse the string back to a boolean value
parsed_boolean = ActiveRecord::Type::Boolean.new.cast(boolean_string)
