Simple PHP package to add an `isTruthy` and `isFalsy` function.

And yes, I know this is simple to almost a silly level. But it's something that I found myself adding to a bunch of different PHP projects so it seemed like a perfect bit of code to build into a package.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using composer

```
composer require aelora/truthy

```

There are no settings.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once loaded, there will be an `isTruthy` and `isFalsy` function in the global namespace.

The following values are considered falsy

- false
- null
- empty string
- 0
- 0.0
- empty array
- empty object
- strings "no", "n", "false", "f", "off", "null", "0", "0.0"

Everything else is considered truthy.

```
if (isTruthy($value)) {
    // Do something
}
if (isFalsy($value)) {
    // Do something
}
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

```
composer test

```
