JavaScript parsing boolean - Stack Overflow

in the response from my server I get a JSON object. It has a boolean flag.

if(file.showInTable == 'true') {

} 

But, even if showInTable is set to false, I get inside that code block. How to cope with that ?

I tried:

if(file.showInTable == 'true')
if(file.showInTable)
if(Boolean(file.showInTable))

Edit

as Ghommey has mentioned, I've used the 2nd option to check that value. Even if the parions statement returns false, it also gets inside the code. See the pic below

it is set to false or true (as bool) - Tony

Why do you pare a boolean as a string?

Just pare it as a boolean:

if(file.showInTable === true) {

} 

or

if(file.showInTable !== false) {

} 

This is ugly, but why not?

if (file.showInTable === "false") file.showInTable = false;
