# BooleanMetricType

`data class BooleanMetricType : `[`CommonMetricData`](../-common-metric-data/index.md) [(source)](https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/blob/master/components/service/glean/src/main/java/mozilla/components/service/glean/private/BooleanMetricType.kt#L20)

This implements the developer facing API for recording boolean metrics.

Instances of this class type are automatically generated by the parsers at build time,
allowing developers to record values that were previously registered in the metrics.yaml file.

The boolean API only exposes the [set](set.md) method.

### Functions

| Name | Summary |
|---|---|
| [set](set.md) | `fun set(value: `[`Boolean`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`): `[`Unit`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html)<br>Set a boolean value. |

This function will attempt to await the last task (if any) writing to the the metric's storage engine before returning a value. |
| [testHasValue](test-has-value.md) | `fun testHasValue(pingName: `[`String`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)` = getStorageNames().first()): `[`Boolean`](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)<br>Tests whether a value is stored for the metric for testing purposes only. This function will attempt to await the last task (if any) writing to the the metric's storage engine before returning a value. |
