Boolean columns are good if you have a column type that is a true/false, or 0/1 value.

For example:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active')

Would yield:

#Using your own view

If you don't want to use the default view and icons you can set your own:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active')
2    ->setView('my.active.view')

You will have access to $component, $status, and $successValue.

To help you better understand, this is the Tailwind implementation of BooleanColumn:

1@if ($status)
2    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="inline-block h-5 w-5 @if ($successValue === true) text-green-500 @else text-red-500 @endif" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
3        <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M9 12l2 2 4-4m6 2a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z" />
4    </svg>
5@else
6    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="inline-block h-5 w-5 @if ($successValue === false) text-green-500 @else text-red-500 @endif" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
7        <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M10 14l2-2m0 0l2-2m-2 2l-2-2m2 2l2 2m7-2a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z" />
8    </svg>
9@endif

#Setting the truthy value

If you want the false value to be the green option, you can set:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active')
2    ->setSuccessValue(false); // Makes false the 'successful' option

That would swap the colors of the icons in the image above.

#Setting the status value

By default, the $status is set to:

1(bool)$value === true

You can override this functionality:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active')
2    // Note: Parameter `$row` available as of v2.4
3    ->setCallback(function(string $value, $row) {
4        // Figure out what makes $value true
5    }),

#Different types of boolean display

By default, the BooleanColumn displays icons.

If you would like the BooleanColumn to display a plain Yes/No, you can set:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active')
2    ->yesNo()

#Toggleable

You may call a defined public function, which should live within your Table Component, to allow "toggling" against your database:

1BooleanColumn::make('Active', 'status')
2    ->toggleable('changeStatus'),

Then your "changeStatus" method may look like

1public function changeStatus(int $id)
2{
3    $item = $this->model::find($id);
4    $item->status = !$item->status;
5    $item->save();
6}

#Toggleable Confirmation Message

You may define a confirmation message prior to executing your toggleable() method. The method will only be executed upon confirming.

1BooleanColumn::make('Active', 'status')
2    ->confirmMessage('Are you sure that you want to change the status?')
3    ->toggleable('changeStatus'),

Then your "changeStatus" method may look like

1public function changeStatus(int $id)
2{
3    $item = $this->model::find($id);
4    $item->status = !$item->status;
5    $item->save();
6}
