Returns a formatter function that returns the texts "true" or "false" and assigns the CSS classNames yui3-datatable-true or yui3-datatable-false based on the value of the cell.

If either a booleanLabels configuration object is defined for the column or a booleanLabels configuration attribute is defined for the datatable, the formatter will use the values for the properties true or false of either of those objects as the text to show.

It returns nulls or undefineds unchanged so that the emptyCellValue configuration attribute will eventually apply.

 {key:"active", formatter: "boolean", booleanLabels: {
     "true": "yes",
     "false": "no"
 }}
