toString()
None.
A string representing the specified boolean value.
The Boolean
object overrides the toString
method of Object
; it does not inherit Object.prototype.toString()
. For Boolean
values, the toString
method returns a string representation of the boolean value, which is either "true"
or "false"
.
The toString()
method requires its this
value to be a Boolean
primitive or wrapper object. It throws a TypeError
for other this
values without attempting to coerce them to boolean values.
Because Boolean
doesn't have a [@@toPrimitive]()
method, JavaScript calls the toString()
method automatically when a Boolean
object is used in a context expecting a string, such as in a template literal. However, boolean primitive values do not consult the toString()
method to be coerced to strings — rather, they are directly converted using the same algorithm as the initial toString()
implementation.
Boolean.prototype.toString = () => "Overridden"; console.log(`${true}`); // "true" console.log(`${new Boolean(true)}`); // "Overridden"
const flag = new Boolean(true); console.log(flag.toString()); // "true" console.log(false.toString()); // "false"
