How do I bind to list of checkbox values with AngularJS

Question

I have a few checkboxes    lt input type  checkbox  value  apple  checked gt   lt input type  checkbox  value  orange  gt   lt input type  checkbox  value  pear  checked gt   lt input type  checkbox  value  naartjie  gt    That I would like to bind to a list in my controller such that whenever a checkbox is changed the controller maintains a list of all the checked values  for example    apple    pear     ng-model seems to only be able to bind the value of one single checkbox to a variable in the controller   Is there another way to do it so that I can bind the four checkboxes to a list in the controller

Since you accepted an answer in which a list was not used, I'll assume the answer to my comment question is "No, it doesn't have to be a list". I also had the impression that maybe you were rending the HTML server side, since "checked" is present in your sample HTML (this would not be needed if ng-model were used to model your checkboxes).

Anyway, here's what I had in mind when I asked the question, also assuming you were generating the HTML server-side:

<div ng-controller="MyCtrl" 
 ng-init="checkboxes = {apple: true, orange: false, pear: true, naartjie: false}">
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checkboxes.apple">apple
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checkboxes.orange">orange
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checkboxes.pear">pear
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checkboxes.naartjie">naartjie
    <br>{{checkboxes}}
</div>

ng-init allows server-side generated HTML to initially set certain checkboxes.

Fiddle.

The following solution seems like a good option    lt label ng-repeat  fruit in fruits  gt     lt input     type  checkbox      ng-model  fruit checked      ng-value  true     gt    fruit fruitName    lt  label gt    And in controller model value fruits will be like this    scope fruits              name    apple        checked   true               name    orange                name    grapes        checked   true

Take a look this  checklist-model   It works with JavaScript arrays  and objects and it can use static HTML checkboxes  without ng-repeat   lt label gt  lt input type  checkbox  checklist-model  roles  value  admin  gt  Administrator lt  label gt   lt label gt  lt input type  checkbox  checklist-model  roles  value  customer  gt  Customer lt  label gt   lt label gt  lt input type  checkbox  checklist-model  roles  value  guest  gt  Guest lt  label gt   lt label gt  lt input type  checkbox  checklist-model  roles  value  user  gt  User lt  label gt    And the JavaScript side   var app   angular module  app     checklist-model     app controller  Ctrl4a   function  scope         scope roles

I like Yoshi s answer  I enhanced it so You can use the same function for multiple lists    lt label ng-repeat  fruitName in fruits  gt   lt input type  checkbox  name  selectedFruits    value    fruitName    ng-checked  selection indexOf fruitName   gt  -1  ng-click  toggleSelection fruitName  selection   gt    fruitName    lt  label gt     lt label ng-repeat  veggieName in veggies  gt   lt input type  checkbox  name  selectedVeggies    value    veggieName    ng-checked  veggieSelection indexOf veggieName   gt  -1  ng-click  toggleSelection veggieName  veggieSelection   gt    veggieName    lt  label gt     app controller  SimpleArrayCtrl      scope   function SimpleArrayCtrl  scope         fruits    scope fruits     apple    orange    pear    naartjie       scope veggies     lettuce    cabbage    tomato        selected fruits    scope selection     apple    pear       scope veggieSelection     lettuce        toggle selection for a given fruit by name    scope toggleSelection   function toggleSelection selectionName  listSelection        var idx   listSelection indexOf selectionName           is currently selected     if  idx  gt  -1          listSelection splice idx  1                 is newly selected     else         listSelection push selectionName                     http   plnkr co edit KcbtzEyNMA8s1X7Hja8p p preview

I think the easiest workaround would be to use  select  with  multiple  specified    lt select ng-model  selectedfruit  multiple ng-options  v for v in fruit  gt  lt  select gt    Otherwise  I think you ll have to process the list to construct the list  by  watch  ing the model array bind with checkboxes

You don t have to write all that code   AngularJS will keep the model and the checkboxes in sync simply by using ngTrueValue and ngFalseValue  Codepen here   http   codepen io paulbhartzog pen kBhzn  Code snippet    lt p ng-repeat  item in list1  class  item  id    item id    gt     lt strong gt   item id   lt  strong gt   lt input name  obj1 data  type  checkbox  ng-model  list1  index  data  ng-true-value  1  ng-false-value  0  gt  Click this to change data value below  lt  p gt   lt pre gt   list1   json   lt  pre gt

You can combine AngularJS and jQuery  For example  you need to define an array   scope selected        in the controller    lt label ng-repeat  item in items  gt       lt input type  checkbox  ng-model  selected  index   ng-true-value     item     gt   item    lt  label gt    You can get an array owning the selected items  Using method alert JSON stringify  scope selected    you can check the selected items

There is a way to work on the array directly and use ng-model at the same time through ng-model-options    getterSetter  true      The trick is to use a getter setter function in your ng-model  This way you can use an array as your real model and  fake  the booleans in the input s model    lt label ng-repeat  fruitName in   apple    orange    pear    naartjie    gt     lt input     type  checkbox      ng-model  fruitsGetterSetterGenerator fruitName       ng-model-options    getterSetter  true       gt    fruitName    lt  label gt          scope fruits     apple    pear       pre checked   scope fruitsGetterSetterGenerator   function fruitName       return function myGetterSetter nowHasFruit           if  nowHasFruit     undefined                   Setter             fruitIndex    scope fruits indexOf fruit               didHaveFruit    fruitIndex     -1               mustAdd     didHaveFruit  amp  amp  nowHasFruit               mustDel    didHaveFruit  amp  amp   nowHasFruit               if  mustAdd                    scope fruits push fruit                             if  mustDel                    scope fruits splice fruitIndex  1                                   else                  Getter             return  scope user fruits indexOf fruit      -1                      CAVEAT You shouldn t use this method if your arrays are big as myGetterSetter will be called a lot of times   For more on that  see https   docs angularjs org api ng directive ngModelOptions

Here s a quick little reusable directive that seems to do what you re looking to do  I ve simply called it checkList  It updates the array when the checkboxes change  and updates the checkboxes when the array changes   app directive  checkList   function       return       scope          list    checkList         value                 link  function scope  elem  attrs          var handler   function setup            var checked   elem prop  checked            var index   scope list indexOf scope value            if  checked  amp  amp  index    -1              if  setup  elem prop  checked   false             else scope list push scope value             else if   checked  amp  amp  index    -1              if  setup  elem prop  checked   true             else scope list splice index  1                             var setupHandler   handler bind null  true         var changeHandler   handler bind null  false          elem bind  change   function             scope  apply changeHandler                   scope  watch  list   setupHandler  true                    Here s a controller and a view that shows how you might go about using it    lt div ng-app  myApp  ng-controller  MainController  gt     lt span ng-repeat  fruit in fruits  gt       lt input type  checkbox  value    fruit    check-list  checked fruits  gt    fruit   lt br   gt     lt  span gt      lt div gt The following fruits are checked    checked fruits   json   lt  div gt      lt div gt Add fruit to the array manually       lt button ng-repeat  fruit in fruits  ng-click  addFruit fruit   gt   fruit   lt  button gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    app controller  MainController   function  scope       scope fruits     apple    orange    pear    naartjie       scope checked fruits     apple    pear       scope addFruit   function fruit        if   scope checked fruits indexOf fruit     -1  return       scope checked fruits push fruit               The buttons demonstrate that changing the array will also update the checkboxes    Finally  here is an example of the directive in action on Plunker  http   plnkr co edit 3YNLsyoG4PIBW6Kj7dRK p preview

Here is yet another solution  The upside of my solution    It does not need any additional watches  which may have an impact on performance  It does not require any code in the controller keeping it clean The code is still somewhat short It is requires very little code to reuse in multiple places because it is just a directive   Here is the directive   function ensureArray o        var lAngular   angular      if  lAngular isArray o     o     null    lAngular isUndefined o             return o            return  o      function checkboxArraySetDirective         return           restrict   A           require   ngModel           link  function scope  element  attrs  ngModel                var name   attrs checkboxArraySet               ngModel  formatters push function value                    return  ensureArray value         indexOf name   gt   0                               ngModel  parsers push function value                    var modelValue   ensureArray ngModel  modelValue                             oldPos   modelValue indexOf name                       wasSet   oldPos  gt   0                  if  value                        if   wasSet                            modelValue   angular copy modelValue                           modelValue push name                                           else if  wasSet                        modelValue   angular copy modelValue                       modelValue splice oldPos  1                                     return modelValue                                      At the end then just use it like this    lt input ng-repeat  fruit in   apple    banana           type  checkbox  ng-model  fruits  checkbox-array-set    fruit      gt    And that is all there is  The only addition is the checkbox-array-set attribute

There are two ways to approach this problem  Either use a simple array or an array of objects  Each solution has it pros and cons  Below you ll find one for each case     With a simple array as input data  The HTML could look like    lt label ng-repeat  fruitName in fruits  gt     lt input     type  checkbox      name  selectedFruits        value    fruitName        ng-checked  selection indexOf fruitName   gt  -1      ng-click  toggleSelection fruitName      gt    fruitName    lt  label gt    And the appropriate controller code would be   app controller  SimpleArrayCtrl      scope   function SimpleArrayCtrl  scope          Fruits    scope fruits     apple    orange    pear    naartjie          Selected fruits    scope selection     apple    pear          Toggle selection for a given fruit by name    scope toggleSelection   function toggleSelection fruitName        var idx    scope selection indexOf fruitName           Is currently selected     if  idx  gt  -1           scope selection splice idx  1                 Is newly selected     else          scope selection push fruitName                     Pros  Simple data structure and toggling by name is easy to handle  Cons  Add remove is cumbersome as two lists  the input and selection  have to be managed    With an object array as input data  The HTML could look like    lt label ng-repeat  fruit in fruits  gt     lt  --     - Use  value    fruit name     to give the input a real value  in case the form gets submitted       traditionally      - Use  ng-checked  fruit selected   to have the checkbox checked based on some angular expression        no two-way-data-binding       - Use  ng-model  fruit selected   to utilize two-way-data-binding  Note that   selected        is arbitrary  The property name could be anything and will be created on the object if not present    -- gt     lt input     type  checkbox      name  selectedFruits        value    fruit name        ng-model  fruit selected     gt    fruit name    lt  label gt    And the appropriate controller code would be   app controller  ObjectArrayCtrl      scope    filterFilter   function ObjectArrayCtrl  scope  filterFilter          Fruits    scope fruits           name   apple      selected  true          name   orange     selected  false          name   pear       selected  true          name   naartjie   selected  false              Selected fruits    scope selection             Helper method to get selected fruits    scope selectedFruits   function selectedFruits         return filterFilter  scope fruits    selected  true                Watch fruits for changes    scope  watch  fruits filter  selected true    function  nv         scope selection   nv map function  fruit          return fruit name               true          Pros  Add remove is very easy  Cons  Somewhat more complex data structure and toggling by name is cumbersome or requires a helper method    Demo  http   jsbin com ImAqUC 1
