Re: [Wasp-users] Form Checkbox select checked (Flexy/Chuck)

[Joshua D. <jos...@op...>]

A cheap way to do this would be to have two checkboxes.  Your controller 
would look like:

if ($myDatabaseBoolean)
{
	$this->setPlaceholder('isChecked', 'true');
}
else
{
	$this->setPlaceholder('isNotChecked', 'true');
}

Then your flexy code would be:

<input type="checkbox" name='mycheckbox" checked="checked" 
flexy:if="isChecked" />
<input type="checkbox" name='mycheckbox" flexy:if="isNotChecked" />

This is because flexy:if translates to--essentially--an isset/defined 
sort of boolean.

The direct Flexy API itself provides a means to set arbitrary key/value 
pairs within a tag for a given id, but the Chunk API does not re-expose 
this functionality to the end-user.  The Flexy API strikes me as a bit 
painful for this sort of use.
