# True / False

A **True/False** field type (e.g. [ACF True/False field](https://wplake.org/blog/acf-true-false-field/)), often represented by a checkbox or a pair of radio buttons with **Yes/No** labels, is suitable when you have a statement or question that can be answered with a binary (two-option) response.

## How to use it

**Select** the true/false field from your field **Group**.

{% hint style="success" %}
As an alternative you could use the [Radio Button](/advanced-views/display-content/meta-fields/choice-fields/select-checkbox-radio.md) or [Checkbox](/advanced-views/display-content/meta-fields/choice-fields/select-checkbox-radio.md) field.
{% endhint %}

## Conditional usage

You can use the True/False field in any [Twig conditions](/advanced-views/templates/template-engines/twig.md#conditions).

### Displaying a label conditionally

```twig
<p>The event is {% if true_false.value %}open{% else %}closed{%endif %}.</p>
```

### Adding a class conditionally

```twig
<p class="{% if true_false.value %}event-open{% else %}event-closed{%endif %}">
Event status</p>
```

## Displaying check icon

In addition to conditional usage, the True/False field can be visually represented as a check or cross icon. This approach provides a clear, visual way to display binary information. For this example, we've used the [UTF-8 check and cross icons](https://utf8-icons.com/):

**Twig template:**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```twig
<div class="switcher switcher--state--{% if true_false.value %}checked{% else %}unchecked{% endif %}"></div>
```

{% endcode %}

**CSS code:**

```css
.switcher {
    display: inline-flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    font-size: 24px;
}

.switcher--state--checked::after {
    content: "\2713"; /* Check mark */
    color: green;
}

.switcher--state--unchecked::after {
    content: "\00D7"; /* Cross mark */
    color: red;
}
```
