extra-boolean - A collection of common boolean functions

A collection of common boolean functions.
📦 Node.js, 🌐 Web, 📜 Files, 📰 Docs. 📘 Wiki.

Boolean data type has two possible truth values to represent logic. Here is my implementation of digital logic gates in software. That includes the basic gates not, and, or, xor; their complements nand, nor, xnor; and 2 propositional logic (taught in discrete mathematics) gates imply, eq; and their complements nimply, neq. There is also a multiplexer, called select, and a true counter, called count. count can help you make custom gates, such as an alternate concept of xnor which returns true only if all inputs are the same (standard xnor returns true if even inputs are true). All of them can handle upto 8 inputs.

parse is influenced by "boolean" package, and is quite good at translating string to boolean. It can also handle double negatives, eg. not inactive. You know the and of 2-inputs, but what of 1-input? What of 0? And what of the other gates? I answer them here.

This package is available in Node.js and Web formats. The web format is exposed as extra_boolean standalone variable and can be loaded from jsDelivr CDN.

Stability: Experimental.

```javascript const boolean = require('extra-boolean'); // import * as boolean from "extra-boolean"; // import * as boolean from "https://unpkg.com/extra-boolean/index.mjs"; (deno)

boolean.parse('1'); boolean.parse('not off'); boolean.parse('truthy'); // → true

boolean.parse('not true'); boolean.parse('inactive'); boolean.parse('disabled'); // → false

boolean.imply(true, false); // → false

boolean.eq(false, false); // → true

boolean.xor(true, true, true); // → true

boolean.select(1, true, false, true); // → false ^

boolean.count(true, false, true); // → 2 ^ ^ ```
