I have a few checkboxes:
Inspired from Yoshi's post above.
Here is the plnkr.
(function () {
angular
.module("APP", [])
.controller("demoCtrl", ["$scope", function ($scope) {
var dc = this
dc.list = [
"Selection1",
"Selection2",
"Selection3"
]
dc.multipleSelections = []
dc.individualSelections = []
// Using splice and push methods to make use of
// the same "selections" object passed by reference to the
// addOrRemove function as using "selections = []"
// creates a new object within the scope of the
// function which doesn't help in two way binding.
dc.addOrRemove = function (selectedItems, item, isMultiple) {
var itemIndex = selectedItems.indexOf(item)
var isPresent = (itemIndex > -1)
if (isMultiple) {
if (isPresent) {
selectedItems.splice(itemIndex, 1)
} else {
selectedItems.push(item)
}
} else {
if (isPresent) {
selectedItems.splice(0, 1)
} else {
selectedItems.splice(0, 1, item)
}
}
}
}])
})()
label {
display: block;
}

A simple HTML only way of doing it:
<input type="checkbox"
ng-checked="fruits.indexOf('apple') > -1"
ng-click="fruits.indexOf('apple') > -1 ? fruits.splice(fruits.indexOf('apple'), 1) : fruits.push('apple')">
<input type="checkbox"
ng-checked="fruits.indexOf('orange') > -1"
ng-click="fruits.indexOf('orange') > -1 ? fruits.splice(fruits.indexOf('orange'), 1) : fruits.push('orange')">
<input type="checkbox"
ng-checked="fruits.indexOf('pear') > -1"
ng-click="fruits.indexOf('pear') > -1 ? fruits.splice(fruits.indexOf('pear'), 1) : fruits.push('pear')">
<input type="checkbox"
ng-checked="fruits.indexOf('naartjie') > -1"
ng-click="fruits.indexOf('apple') > -1 ? fruits.splice(fruits.indexOf('apple'), 1) : fruits.push('naartjie')">
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:
<p ng-repeat="item in list1" class="item" id="{{item.id}}">
<strong>{{item.id}}</strong> <input name='obj1_data' type="checkbox" ng-model="list1[$index].data" ng-true-value="1" ng-false-value="0"> Click this to change data value below
</p>
<pre>{{list1 | json}}</pre>
Take a look this: checklist-model.
It works with JavaScript arrays, and objects and it can use static HTML checkboxes, without ng-repeat
<label><input type="checkbox" checklist-model="roles" value="admin"> Administrator</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" checklist-model="roles" value="customer"> Customer</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" checklist-model="roles" value="guest"> Guest</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" checklist-model="roles" value="user"> User</label>
And the JavaScript side:
var app = angular.module("app", ["checklist-model"]);
app.controller('Ctrl4a', function($scope) {
$scope.roles = [];
});
Using a string of $index
can help to use a hashmap of selected values:
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="someItem in someArray">
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="someObject[$index.toString()]" />
</li>
</ul>
This way the ng-model object gets updated with the key representing the index.
$scope.someObject = {};
After a while $scope.someObject
should look something like:
$scope.someObject = {
0: true,
4: false,
1: true
};
This method won't work for all situations, but it is easy to implement.
Check out this directive that manages effectively lists of checkboxes. I hope it works for you. CheckList Model
