Querying boolean property returns as int

[Mehrdad Shokri]

Describe the bug
getting property inserted as boolean in int format

To Reproduce
db.saveDocument(MutableDocument()
.setString('type', TYPE)
.setString('title', title)
.setBoolean('done', done));

await QueryBuilder.select([
SelectResult.expression(Meta.id.from(ALIAS)).as('id'),
SelectResult.expression(Expression.property('title').from(ALIAS))
.as('title'),
SelectResult.expression(Expression.property('done')
.from(ALIAS))
.as('done')
])
.from(Constants.DB_NAME, as: ALIAS)
.where(Expression.property('type')
.from(ALIAS)
.equalTo(Expression.string(TYPE)))
.execute()

Expected behavior
Each Result in ResultSet should have a done property with boolean value on it but returned result is an int

I found this, is it related?

[Bryan Welter]

I'm not sure on how everything is done behind the scenes but I do know that SQLite is used to store information and SQLite does not have boolean types instead it uses 0's and 1's.

[Mehrdad Shokri]

So you're saying this is expected behavior? so why is there setBoolean on MutableDocument if it doesn't support boolean data type

[Bryan Welter]

I'm sure its mostly because there is not an easy solution to differentiate between boolean and int values in SQLite / maybe C or C# depending on where the value is being stored. Refer to this documentation on the method getBoolean for a way to parse the value https://pub.dev/documentation/couchbase_lite/latest/couchbase_lite/Document-class.html

@bawelter how do I cast a Result to Document? since QueryBuilder.execute() results ResultSet

Please reference the documentation https://pub.dev/documentation/couchbase_lite/latest/couchbase_lite/Database-class.html for retrieving a Document object and https://pub.dev/documentation/couchbase_lite/latest/couchbase_lite/Result-class.html for using the getBoolean function on a result set. Please refer to the documentation before posting questions here.

I use https://pub.dev/packages/built_value to model the data. Hopefully this helps.
