Not
What It Does
Inverts a boolean value, turning true into false and false into true. This is useful for creating opposite conditions or toggling states in your design logic.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| value | The boolean value to negate | Any | Yes |
Outputs
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| value | The opposite of the input value | Yes/No |
How to Use It
- Drag the Logical Not node into your graph.
- Connect a boolean value (true/false) to the "value" input.
- Run the graph—if you input true, you'll get false; if you input false, you'll get true.
- Non-boolean values are converted to boolean before negation (e.g., 0 becomes false, then true).
Tips
- In JavaScript, values like 0, empty strings, null, and undefined are "falsy" and will be converted to true by the Not node.
- Use Not to create inverse conditions rather than duplicating logic with opposite rules.
See Also
- Logical AND: For checking if multiple conditions are all true.
- Logical OR: For checking if at least one condition is true.
Use Cases
- Toggle States: Invert a boolean state to toggle between two modes (e.g., light/dark theme).
- Exclusion Rules: Create rules for when something should not apply (e.g., "not mobile" for desktop-only features).
- Alternate Paths: Set up different design logic paths based on the negation of a condition.
