# Value.Boolean

## Import

```tsx
import { Value } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'
render(<Value.Boolean />)
```

## Description

`Value.Boolean` is a base component for displaying values of the type `boolean`.

Before using this component, ensure there is not a more specific [value component](/uilib/extensions/forms/Value/components/) available that better suits your needs.

There is a corresponding [Field.Boolean](/uilib/extensions/forms/base-fields/Boolean) component.

```jsx
import { Value } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'
render(<Value.Boolean />)
```
