How to deal with checkbox items in params? #24

Closed vityok closed 10 years ago

vityok commented 10 years ago

I think that eventually I will figure it out, but it would be nice to have this information in the documentation/tutorial: what is the proper way to get a list of selected checkboxes?

for example, if I've got two checkboxes named "item-id" selected in a form, then the params list will be:

  (:|item-id| 1 :|item-id| 2)

however, getf will return only one of the selected items:

(getf params :|item-id|) => 1

It would be great to have a default way to access these values as a list described in the documentation.

You can use getf-all of "multival-plist" for that.

Hi Eitarow, thanks for the tip!

Since input type checkbox are a common feature occurring in HTML forms, would you please consider adding a corresponding tip to the documentation and probably a multival-plist dependency to the project skeleton so that it would be possible by default to access these items? I am sure that newcomers would be glad to have this.

Thanks!

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to add it.
