Overview

Checks for uses of double negation (‘!!`) to convert something to a boolean value.

When using ‘EnforcedStyle: allowed_in_returns`, allow double negation in contexts that use boolean as a return value. When using `EnforcedStyle: forbidden`, double negation should be forbidden always.

NOTE: when ‘something` is a boolean value `!!something` and `!something.nil?` are not the same thing. As you’re unlikely to write code that can accept values of any type this is rarely a problem in practice.

Examples:

# bad
!!something

# good
!something.nil?

EnforcedStyle: allowed_in_returns (default)

# good
def foo?
  !!return_value
end

define_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

define_singleton_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

EnforcedStyle: forbidden

# bad
def foo?
  !!return_value
end

define_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

define_singleton_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end
