AngularJS: ng-model not binding to ng-checked for checkboxes

Question

I referred to this before asking this question.

AngularJs doesn't bind ng-checked with ng-model

If ng-checked is evaluated to true

Answer 1

You don't need ng-checked when you use ng-model. If you're performing CRUD on your HTML Form, just create a model for CREATE mode that is consistent with your EDIT mode during the data-binding:

CREATE Mode: Model with default values only

$scope.dataModel = {
   isItemSelected: true,
   isApproved: true,
   somethingElse: "Your default value"
}

EDIT Mode: Model from database

$scope.dataModel = getFromDatabaseWithSameStructure()

Then whether EDIT or CREATE mode, you can consistently make use of your ng-model to sync with your database.
