requireBool method

bool requireBool(
  1. String key, {
  2. String? description,
})

Requires a valid boolean environment variable identified by key.

Accepts 'true', '1', 'yes' (case-insensitive) as true, and 'false', '0', 'no' as false. Throws BloomEnvironmentException if missing, empty, or unparseable.

Implementation

bool requireBool(String key, {String? description}) {
  final val = BloomEnv.getOrNull(key)?.trim();
  if (val == null || val.isEmpty) {
    final desc = description != null ? ' ($description)' : '';
    final err = 'Missing required boolean environment variable "$key"$desc.';
    _validationErrors.add(err);
    throw BloomEnvironmentException(err, errors: [err]);
  }
  final lower = val.toLowerCase();
  if (lower == 'true' || lower == '1' || lower == 'yes') return true;
  if (lower == 'false' || lower == '0' || lower == 'no') return false;

  final err = 'Environment variable "$key" is not a valid boolean: "$val".';
  _validationErrors.add(err);
  throw BloomEnvironmentException(err, errors: [err]);
}
