The Boolean Entry component displays boolean values as localized Yes/No text. It extends the Text Entry component and automatically formats boolean values.

​
Basic Usage

<x-forms::boolean-entry name="is_active" label="Active" />

​
With Model Binding

<x-forms::boolean-entry 
    name="is_published" 
    label="Published" 
    :model="$post" 
/>

​
Explicit Value

<x-forms::boolean-entry 
    label="Is Verified" 
    :value="true" 
/>

​
Inline Layout

Display in horizontal layout: 
<x-forms::boolean-entry 
    name="is_admin" 
    label="Administrator" 
    :model="$user"
    :inline="true" 
/>

​
Without Label

<x-forms::boolean-entry 
    name="is_active" 
    :show-label="false"
    :model="$user" 
/>

​
Multiple Entries

Display multiple boolean fields: 
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <x-forms::boolean-entry 
            name="is_published" 
            label="Published" 
            :model="$post"
            :inline="true" 
        />
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <x-forms::boolean-entry 
            name="is_featured" 
            label="Featured" 
            :model="$post"
            :inline="true" 
        />
    </div>
</div>

​
Value Formatting

The component automatically formats boolean values:
  • true → Displays the translated “Yes” string (forms::strings.yes)
  • false → Displays the translated “No” string (forms::strings.no)
  • null → Displays the translated “blank” string (forms::strings.blank)

​
Localization

The component uses translation strings from the forms package:
  • forms::strings.yes - Default: “Yes”
  • forms::strings.no - Default: “No”
  • forms::strings.blank - Default: ”-”
You can customize these translations in your language files.

​
Inheritance

Boolean Entry extends the Text Entry component with:
  • Automatic boolean-to-text conversion
  • Fixed multiline="false" (cannot be changed)
  • All other Text Entry features (inline layout, custom classes, etc.)

​
Rendering

The component renders using the same template as Text Entry:
  • Definition list (<dl>) structure
  • <dt> tag for the label
  • <dd> tag for the formatted Yes/No/Blank value
  • Bootstrap grid classes when using inline layout
