GetBool

Overview

GetBool parses a bool environment variable.

Part of the env package — Node.js analog: dotenv / process.env.

Signature

func GetBool(key string, def bool) (bool, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical dotenv / process.env pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

v := os.Getenv("KEY")
if v == "" {
    v = "default"
}

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/env"

debug, err := env.GetBool("DEBUG", false)

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/env"

debug, err := env.GetBool("DEBUG", false)

Tips

Call Load() once at startup, then use typed getters instead of parsing strings manually.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

v := os.Getenv("KEY")
if v == "" {
    v = "default"
}
