Boolean fields as checkboxes

KostasR

Hello all,

I have an array data source. It also contains 4 boolean fields. In the section "columns: []" I used a "render" to get a checkbox object but it does not refer to the data field. Without "render", true or false is displayed.
Does anyone have an idea how to get checkboxes?

 columns: [
                        {
                            data: "ST",
                            searchable: false,
                            sortable: false,
                            visible: (aDurchgang==1 ? true : false),
                            className: "text-center",
                            render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                                if (type === 'display') {
                                    return '<input type="checkbox" class="editor-active">';
                                }
                                return data;
                            }

                        },
                        {
                            data: "MW",
                            searchable: false,
                            sortable: false,
                            className: "text-center"
                        },
                        {
                            data: "AK",
                            searchable: false,
                            sortable: false,
                            className: "text-center"
                        },
                        {
                            data: "SE",
                            searchable: false,
                            sortable: false,
                            className: "text-center"
                        },
]

Hi @KostasR ,

It's because when you create the checkbox in the render function, you're not considering the value of the checkbox, so it will always be blank. Take a look at this example for another thread, you'll see you need to set the checked attribute when it is true.
