ExpressibleByBooleanLiteral

protocol ExpressibleByBooleanLiteral

A type that can be initialized with the Boolean literals true and false.

Only three types provided by Swift---Bool, DarwinBoolean, and ObjCBool---are treated as Boolean values. Expanding this set to include types that represent more than simple Boolean values is discouraged.

To add ExpressibleByBooleanLiteral conformance to your custom type, implement the init(booleanLiteral:) initializer that creates an instance of your type with the given Boolean value.

A type that represents a Boolean literal, such as Bool.
Import import Swift

Initializers

init(booleanLiteral:) Required

Creates an instance initialized to the given Boolean value.

Do not call this initializer directly. Instead, initialize a variable or constant using one of the Boolean literals true and false. For example:

let twasBrillig = true

In this example, the assignment to the twasBrillig constant calls this Boolean literal initializer behind the scenes.

value: The value of the new instance.

Declaration

init(booleanLiteral value: Self.BooleanLiteralType)
