javascript - Meteor checkbox - Display Value of expression as String, not interpreted as Boolean -

i have checkbox implemented , it's working fine.

html:

<form>     <ul>         {{#each checkbox}}         <li>             <input type="checkbox" checked="{{checked}}" class="toggle-checked"> {{name}}: {{checked}}         </li>         {{/each}}     </ul> </form> 

js:

cbtest = new mongo.collection('cbtest');  template.checkbox.helpers({     checkbox: function () {         return cbtest.find();     } });  template.checkbox.events({     "click .toggle-checked": function () {        var self = this;         meteor.call("setchecked", self._id, !self.checked);     } });  meteor.methods({     setchecked: function (checkboxid, setchecked) {         cbtest.update(checkboxid, {             $set: {                 checked: setchecked             }         });     } }); 

i want display value ("true" or "false") depending on checkbox's state. seems expression "{{ checked }}" evaluatiated true or false, , if true returns value of corresponding document entry. how can display content string ("true" / "false")?

thanks in advance! vin

you add helper transforms checked bool string using tostring() function:

checkedstring: function () {   return this.checked.tostring(); } 

and use helper in template:

<input type="checkbox" checked="{{checked}}" class="toggle-checked"> {{name}}: {{checkedstring}} 

see meteor pad demo.
