Checkbox List

Returns: IEnumerable<string>
Displays a list of preset values as a list of checkbox controls. The text saved is a IEnumerable collection of the text values.
Unlike other property editors, the Prevalue IDs are not directly accessible in Razor.

Without Modelsbuilder
@{
if (Model.HasValue("superHeros"))
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.Value<IEnumerable<string>>("superHeros"))
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}
With Modelsbuilder
@{
if (Model.SuperHeros.Any())
{
<ul>
@foreach (var item in Model.SuperHeros)
{
<li>@item</li>
}
</ul>
}
}
Add values programmatically
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.
@using Newtonsoft.Json
@{
// Get access to ContentService
var contentService = Services.ContentService;
// 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:
@{
// Set the value of the property with alias 'superHeros'
content.SetValue(Home.GetModelPropertyType(x => x.SuperHeros).Alias, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new[] { "Umbraco", "CodeGarden"}));
}
