Checkbox List
Alias: Umbraco.CheckBoxListReturns: IEnumerable<string>Displays a list of preset values as a list of checkbox controls. The text saved is an IEnumerable collection of the text values.
Unlike other property editors, the Prevalue IDs are not directly accessible in Razor.
True/Checkbox List Definition
Checkbox List Example
@{
if (Model.HasValue("superHeros"))
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.Value<IEnumerable<string>>("superHeros"))
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}
@{
if (Model.SuperHeros.Any())
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.SuperHeros)
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}
See the example below to see how a value can be added or changed programmatically. To update a value of a property editor you need the Content Service.
@inject IContentService Services;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;
@using Newtonsoft.Json
@{
// Get access to ContentService
var contentService = Services;
// Create a variable for the GUID of the page you want to update
var guid = Guid.Parse("32e60db4-1283-4caa-9645-f2153f9888ef");
// Get the page using the GUID you've defined
var content = contentService.GetById(guid); // ID of your page
// Set the value of the property with alias 'superHeros'.
content.SetValue("superHeros", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new[] { "Umbraco", "CodeGarden"}));
// Save the change
contentService.Save(content);
}
Although the use of a GUID is preferable, you can also use the numeric ID to get the page:
@{
// Get the page using it's id
var content = contentService.GetById(1234);
}
If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
@inject IPublishedSnapshotAccessor _publishedSnapshotAccessor;
@using Umbraco.Cms.Core.PublishedCache;
@{
// Set the value of the property with alias 'superHeros'
content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor,x => x.SuperHeros).Alias, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new[] { "Umbraco", "CodeGarden"}));
}
