How to get the value of a checkbox of a template in the controller in ember app
ember.js
Solution
You should probably use the `input` helper that ember provides (see the docs).
{{input type="checkbox" checked=remember_me}}
To get the model that is set on a controller, use `this.get('model')`.
So, to get the `remember_me` attribute from the model, it's simply
this.get('model').get('remember_me')
Assuming `remember_me` is a boolean attribute, this should return `true` or `false`.
See the jsbin.
EDIT
I didn't realize that by default the controller will delegate to it's model, so
this.get('remember_me')
should work.
Problem
I am trying to find whether the checkbox is checked or not in a controller. Here's my template: ``` <script type="text/x-handlebars"> {{view Ember.TextField valueBinding="firstname" placeholder="First Name"}} <input type="checkbox" name="remember_me"> Remember me </input> <button {{action save }}>Save</button> </script> ``` Here's my controller: ``` App = Ember.Application.create(); App.ApplicationController = Ember.Controller.extend({ save: function(){ //need to get the value of "remember_me" here alert(this.get("firstname")); } }); ``` How can I get the value of "remember_me" (whether it's checked or not) in the controller. Can I do valueBinding on the check box. If so , can you please give me an example syntax. jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Rtd4d/
