Bug in checkbox

[diduweiwu]

I use checkbox like this:

[label][input type="checkbox" ng-checked="go" ng-true-value="true" ng-false-value="false" ng-model="go"][/input]Send out email notification[/label]

the default value of parameter "go" is "true", when I un-checked the checkbox,the value of go is still "true" when I use console.log(go) to trace it. And when I check and then un-check it angain, its value changed.

Hey, thanks for the bug report =) could you please post a minimal reproduction of your issue to http://plnkr.co or http://jsbin.com? thanks~

Hi @caitp , here I create an example for that

Initialize go correctly and it will work: http://plnkr.co/edit/49at2ol4W4la4LVrRqcT?p=preview

... and you can also remove the ng-false-value and ng-true-value in this case, since they're false and true, respectively, by default. I hope it helps!

@LeonardoBraga Got it. So its value should be boolean, not string. Hope it would be more convenient because all of my data are get as string.
My problem is solved. Thanks.

[caitp]

he wants the true and false to be string values --- ng-true-value and ng-false-value need to be initialized with constant values. If they are wrapped in quotes like ng-true-value="'true'" it works just fine

[LeonardoBraga]

Sure thing, @caitp. He didn't mention the values had to be strings in the beginning, this is why I considered it being the wrong usage, and suggested using true instead of 'true' and removing ngFalseValue and ngTrueValue directives, which also made the code simpler.

[diduweiwu]

@caitp Do you mean initialize it like this? But it didn't run properly.

1. [input ng-model="go" type="checkbox"
   ng-true-value="'true'" ng-false-value="'false'"
   ng-checked="go">!
   1. $scope.go = 'true';

@LeonardoBraga Yes, I must use Boolean(go) to convert it to boolean formats. Well, it works fine for me now. Great thanks for your kind help.

@gaoyuan121 hmmm, you're right. That's weird. lets keep this open so that we can fix that bug.

[LeonardoBraga]

@gaoyuan121 The glitch with string values is being caused because the input has both ng-model and ng-checked in it. Remove ng-checked and it will work with the strings as well.

[caitp]

when on earth did we add that? but yeah I don't think that's an excuse --- we probably shouldn't allow ngChecked to operate if it's used on its own input, to prevent weirdness
