Topic: Bind checkbox to array
Rogelio Sanchez free asked 5 years ago
How can I bind an array to a group of checkboxes? when I put v-model="myArray" into the checkbox, it says it's expecting string not array, so I had to put three different variables and toggle boolean value through a method on the @change directive, which I don't like, I wish I could put a value in every checkbox and bind it directly to an array. How can I do this, I follow VueJS documentation but it's not working.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,As I understand, you wish to render several checkboxes which value would be bound to the array stored in data? In the recent release, MDB Vue 5.2.0 we improved mdb-input component in terms of v-model and I encourage you to update your version. The value emitted by checkbox is boolean, not an array. How about this solution:
<template>
<div>
<mdb-input v-for="option in options" type="checkbox" :id="option.label" v-model="option.checked" :key="option.id" :label="option.label" >{{option.checked}}
</mdb-input>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { mdbInput } from 'mdbvue';
export default {
components: {
mdbInput
},
data(){
return {
options: [
{label: '1', id: 0, checked: false},
{label: '2', id: 1, checked: false},
{label: '3', id: 2, checked: false}
]
};
}
}</script>
Kind regards,Magdalena

Awesome, thank you very much.

However, could you tell why this isn't working?

the part that says: Multiple checkboxes, bound to the same Array

Hi, That's not working because our component accepts three data types for it's value: String, Boolean, Number. But thank you for this suggestion - it's definitely something we will add in the future. Kind regards, Magdalena
