[chef] Re: LWRP Boolean

[Graham Christensen < >]

Hi Cassiano,

A common trick to implement this, which I've seen across a number of LWRPs is to do:

:kind_of => [TrueClass, FalseClass]

Ohai Chefs!

What's the "correct" way to have a boolean attribute in a LWRP? There's no Boolean class in Ruby, so 

attribute :some_boolean, :kind_of => Boolean, :default => false

is not possible.

What's the solution?

Thanks,
