Angular 5, Typescript 2.7.1
I can't seem to get the checkbox to be checked when returning a boolean, I've tried, item.check
returns either true or false.
<tr class="even" *ngFor="let item of rows">
<input value="{{item.check}}" type="checkbox" checked="item.check">
The checkbox is always checked when checked is written inside input. And it does not get unchecked when checked="false"
.
Is there a better way to do it with Angular features instead? like ngModel or ngIf???
Solution
<input type="checkbox" [checked]="item.check == 'true'">
[(ngModel)]="item.check"
try:
[checked]="item.checked"
check out: How to Deal with Different Form Controls in Angular
You can use this:
<input type="checkbox" [checked]="record.status" (change)="changeStatus(record.id,$event)">
Here, record is the model for current row and status is boolean value.
When you have a copy of an object the [checked]
attribute might not work, in that case, you can use (change)
in this way:
<input type="checkbox" [checked]="item.selected" (change)="item.selected = !item.selected">
Hope this will help somebody to develop custom checkbox component with custom styles. This solution can use with forms too.
HTML
<label class="lbl">
<input #inputEl type="checkbox" [name]="label" [(ngModel)]="isChecked" (change)="onChange(inputEl.checked)"
*ngIf="isChecked" checked>
<input #inputEl type="checkbox" [name]="label" [(ngModel)]="isChecked" (change)="onChange(inputEl.checked)"
*ngIf="!isChecked" >
<span class="chk-box {{isChecked ? 'chk':''}}"></span>
<span class="lbl-txt" *ngIf="label" >{{label}}</span>
</label>

Usage
Outside forms
<app-checkbox [label]="'Example'" [isChecked]="true"></app-checkbox>
Inside forms
<app-checkbox [label]="'Type 0'" formControlName="Type1"></app-checkbox>
Here is my answer,
In row.model.ts
export interface Row {
otherProperty : type;
checked : bool;
otherProperty : type;
...
}
In .html
<tr class="even" *ngFor="let item of rows">
<input [checked]="item.checked" type="checkbox">
</tr>
In .ts
rows : Row[] = [];
update the rows in component.ts
Work with checkboxes using observables
You could even choose to use a behaviourSubject
to utilize the power of observables so you can start a certain chain of reaction starting at the isChecked$
observable.
In your component.ts:
public isChecked$ = new BehaviorSubject(false);
toggleChecked() {
this.isChecked$.next(!this.isChecked$.value)
}
In your template
<input type="checkbox" [checked]="isChecked$ | async" (change)="toggleChecked()">
