Example

The example given below specifies the usage of checkbox in the input helper. Create a route with name as checkbox and open the router.js file to define the URL mappings −

import Ember from 'ember';
import config from './config/environment';

const Router = Ember.Router.extend ({
   location: config.locationType,
   rootURL: config.rootURL
});

Router.map(function() {
   this.route('checkbox');
});

export default Router;

Open the file application.hbs file created under app/templates/ with the following code −

<h2>Input Helper CheckBox</h2>
{{#link-to 'checkbox'}}Click Here{{/link-to}}
{{outlet}}

When you click the link, page should open the checkbox.hbs file, which contains the below code −

{{input type = "checkbox" checked = checkMe}} Check Box
<button {{action "send"}}>Click the checkbox</button>
{{outlet}}

Open the checkbox.js file created under app/routes/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend ({
   model: function () {
      return Ember.Object.create({
         checkMe: false
      });
   }
});

Now open the checkbox.js file created under app/controllers/ with the following code −

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Controller.extend ({
   actions: {
      send: function () {
         document.write('checkbox value: ' + this.get('checkMe'));
      }
   }
});

Output

Run the ember server; you will receive the following output −

When you click on the link, a checkbox will get display and click on it −

Next click the button, it will show the result as true as shown in the screenshot below −
