If you want to check if a value is truthy or falsy, you can use the Boolean function. However, one common mistake is to use that to convert a string into a Boolean value. In the example below, a non-empty and non-null value will always result to true no matter the value, even if the value is “false”.
console.log(Boolean("false")); // true
console.log(Boolean("0")); // true
console.log(Boolean("no")); // true
console.log(Boolean("")); // false
console.log(Boolean(null)); // false
console.log(Boolean(undefined)); // false
