How to add checkbox values to an array in AngularJS? - arrays

Question

Someone help me please!
Lets say I have an a list of a checkboxes, each checkbox have an ID.
I would like to $scope an array with checked checkboxes IDs.
<div ng-app="myapp">
<div ng-controller="ctrlParent">
<table>
<tr ng-repeat="(key, value) in providers">
<td><input type="checkbox" ng-model="ids[value.Id]"> {{value}} </td>
</tr>
</table>
{{ids}}
</div>
And my controller:
var app = angular.module('myapp',[]);
app.controller('ctrlParent',function($scope){
$scope.providers = [{Id:5},{Id:6},{Id:8},{Id:10}];
$scope.ids = {};
});
Now my array output (if all check boxes are checked) is: {"5":true,"6":true,"8":true,"10":true}
And I would like: [{Id:5},{Id:6},{Id:8},{Id:10}]

Answer 1

this is a possible solution:
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="ids[$index]" ng-true-value="
{{value}}" ng-false-value="{{undefined}}"/>{{value}}
In this way, you will have an array of objects, because you are assigning ids[$index] = value.
There is a cons however: when you double check a checkbox, you will have an empty element in the array.
var app = angular.module('myapp', []);
app.controller('ctrlParent', function($scope) {
$scope.providers = [{
Id: 5
}, {
Id: 6
}, {
Id: 8
}, {
Id: 10
}];
$scope.ids = [];
$scope.$watchCollection('ids', function(newVal) {
for (var i = 0; i < newVal.length; ++i) {
console.log(newVal[i]);
}
});
});

<div ng-app="myapp">
<div ng-controller="ctrlParent">
<table>
<tr ng-repeat="(key,value) in providers">
<td>
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="ids[$index]" ng-true-value="{{value}}" ng-false-value="{{undefined}}" />{{value}}
</td>
</tr>
</table>{{ids}}</div>
</div>

Answer 2

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="ids[$index]" ng-true-value="{{value}}" >
Addign the ng-true-value directive will solve the problem
and in controller change the ids from object to array
