Boolean Datatype

Boolean fields accept JSON true and false values, but can also accept strings which are interpreted as either true or false, but you have to explicitly use the _type boolean. The two following examples are equivalent:

UPDATE /bank/1
{
    "isPublished": true
}

UPDATE /bank/1
{
    "isPublished": {
      "_value": "true",
      "_type": "boolean"
    }
}

When using strings, you can use any of the following and it gets interpreted as either true or false:

• "true", "t", , "1" -> true
• "false", "f", "0" -> false

Parameters

The following parameters are accepted by Boolean fields:

_value	The value for the field. (Only used at index time).
_index	The mode the field will be indexed as: "none", "field_terms", "field_values", "field_all", "field", "global_terms", "global_values", "global_all", "global", "terms", "values", "all". (The default is "field_all").
_slot	The slot number. (It’s calculated by default).
_prefix	The prefix the term is going to be indexed with. (It’s calculated by default)
_weight	The weight the term is going to be indexed with.
