Int to Boolean

This node does exactly one thing: it takes an integer and turns it into a boolean. 0 becomes False; literally anything else - including negative numbers - becomes True. That's the whole function, and you'd be surprised how often you need it once your workflows stop being a straight line.

Why you'd reach for it

ComfyUI is full of inputs that want a BOOLEAN, but a lot of your graph logic produces integers. The classic case: you have a counter or an Incrementer ticking up, and you want to flip something off when it reaches zero. Or you're comparing values with a node that hands you a 1/0 and the downstream node insists on a real True/False. Instead of hand-wiring a primitive, drop this between the integer and whatever boolean gate comes next.

It's a casting node, the same family as the pack's Boolean to Int, Float to Int and Int to Float - TinyBee groups them all under the 🐝TinyBee/Casting menu, and they exist because ComfyUI's type system is strict about these.

How it works

The implementation is one line of Python: return (integer != 0,). Python's truthiness does the rest, which is why -5 counts as True. Nothing cached, nothing clever - feed it an integer, get a boolean out the other side.

The inputs that matter

• integer - the value to convert. Defaults to 0, takes the full int32 range.

And one output:

• boolean - False if the input was 0, True otherwise. Wire this into any BOOLEAN input on a Switch, a condition, or a node that toggles behavior.

Installing it

This ships in the TinyBee pack, so you install the pack, not the node. Easiest route is ComfyUI Manager → Install Custom Nodes, search "ComfyUI-TinyBee", install, restart. No Manager? Then:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/TinyBeeman/ComfyUI-TinyBee

Restart ComfyUI and the node appears under 🐝TinyBee/Casting. The pack's dependencies (pillow, jsonata) are optional for this node - it uses only the standard library.

Common issues

The only real trap is expectations. If you're coming from a language where "truthy" means "non-empty but also positive", this node won't match - -1 is True here. If you specifically want "greater than zero", do the comparison upstream with an Int Compare node and let this one be a pure pass-through. Otherwise, there's genuinely not much to get wrong with a node whose entire body is one comparison.
