rails check_box_tag set checked with default value

Question

I currently have a rails check_box_tag call that looks like

check_box_tag #{name}

I want to include a checked attribute, which I know I can do

Answer 1

If anyone have column type boolean then look at this. is_checked? will be default boolean value. It worked for me.

<%= hidden_field_tag :name, 'false' %> <%= check_box_tag :name, true, is_checked? %>
