## Example

### Basic Boolean

A basic Boolean offers three options: `true`, `false` and `undefined`.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Appearance" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/s5HV9lSbviZ66C5xkFDY" alt="" width="542"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Source" %}

```json
[
	{
		"type": "boolean",
		"label": "My Boolean",
		"name": "myBoolean"
	}
]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Checkbox style

You can turn the radio buttons into a checkbox by adding a `"required": true` property. Additionally, you can set the default state by setting the `default` property.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Appearance" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/AmGSn5oeoV11UsSXq7KN" alt="" width="539"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Source" %}

```json
[
	{
		"type": "boolean",
		"label": "Enable this feature?",
		"name": "enable",
		"required": true
	},
	{
		"type": "boolean",
		"label": "Subscribe?",
		"name": "subscribe",
		"required": true,
		"default": true
	}
]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Nested parameters

By adding nested fields, you can add fields that will be shown to the user if this field’s value is `true`.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Appearance 1" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/hyFls5uat7Q1WGflAKJh" alt="" width="535"><figcaption><p>Boolean set to false</p></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Appearance 2" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/TmbIPbIJRX2nqJz2zxHV" alt="" width="541"><figcaption><p>Boolean set to true</p></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Source" %}

```json
[
 {
    "name": "myBoolean",
    "type": "boolean",
    "label": "My Boolean",
    "nested": [
        {
            "name": "nestedField1",
            "type": "text",
            "label": "Nested Field 1"
        },
        {
            "name": "nestedField2",
            "type": "text",
            "label": "Nested Field 2"
        }
    ]
  }
]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Editable (deprecated)

{% hint style="info" %}
Since **Apps platform version 2**, all Booleans have set `mappable`(editable) to `true` by default.
{% endhint %}

You can allow mapping to the field by setting `editable` to `true`.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Appearance" %}

<div align="left"><img src="/files/xMfQzYTaKuuwe91gn8RX" alt="" width="563"></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Source" %}

```json
[
	{
		"type": "boolean",
		"label": "Editable boolean",
		"name": "myBoolean",
		"editable": true
	}
]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
