Question

I have rails model article receive_letters:boolean. And I have backbone in my application. In backbone view I have smth like it:

<form id="new-article" name="article">
<div class="field">
 <label for="receive_letters">Подписаться на новостную рассылку </label>
 <input type="text" name="receive_letters" id="receive_letters" value="<%= receive_letters %>">
</div>

It’s working fine. But then I change type from “text” to “checkbox”, it have value = null.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Fixed it.

Template (new.jst.ejs):

<input type="checkbox" name="receive_letters" id="receive_letters">

View (new_view.js.coffee):

events: {
  "click input:checkbox": "check"
  }
check: (e) ->  
  if e.currentTarget.checked == true
    e.currentTarget.value = "true"
  else
    e.currentTarget.value = "false"
