Description
class-transformeris often used in NestJS projects to parse request bodies/params. The current version transforms the string 'false' to true and requires ugly workarounds to make it work as expected, see #626, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59046629/boolean-parameter-in-request-body-is-always-true-in-nestjs-api an the other linked issues.This PR adds configuration option
parseBooleanStrings, which allows parsing boolean strings. It is disabled by default so that it does not break existing projects.Checklist
