Checkbox¶

type => 'check' // TCA alternativeSql: true

The Checkbox type generates one or more checkbox fields.

Settings¶

default¶

Required: false
Type: integer (bit value)
Default: 0

The default value corresponds to a bit value. If you only have one checkbox having 1 or 0 will work to turn it on or off by default. For more than one checkbox you need to calculate the bit representation.

items¶

Required: false
Type: array

Only necessary if more than one checkbox is desired. Contains the checkbox elements as separate array items. The label can also be defined as a LLL-reference.

Example:

items:
  - label: 'The first'
  - label: 'The second'
  - label: 'The third'

For advanced configuration refer to the TCA documentation.
