Since version laravel/framework: v6.13. There are added ability to call on the \Illuminate\Http\Request method boolean that will return true when value is "1", "true", "on", and "yes". Otherwise, returns false.

Via a URL you could pass 1(as true) or 0(as false) for boolean values.

You can try this way:

http://some-url?arg=true

Or 

http://some-url?arg=false

And in php:

$boolean = filter_var( $request->query('arg'), FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN, FILTER_NULL_ON_FAILURE );

There is a helper in laravel

Request::boolean('query-param-name')

At the end it does same thing as Dimitri Leiko described, but maybe helps other people.

 public function boolean($key = null, $default = false)
    {
        return filter_var($this->input($key, $default), FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN);
    }
