checkboxes to replace <select multiple>

[s.teu...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am looking for an alternative for the  <select multiple> element which I think is not really user friendly.
I am thinking of creating a directive which ng-repeats over a collection (the selectables) and creates checkboxes for all of these.
After this I bind to the change event and depending on true or false I add or remove the checked element to or from the "selected" collection.

But I feel there must be a better way. (Especially as I also want two way binding of the "selected" collection).

Anyone any suggestions?

Sander.

Hi Sander,

I created directives to do this.  They work, but sometimes I think it makes more sense to just transform my data for angular when I load/save it.

Hi Sander,

Here are a few directives I've written recently which may be of use/interest...

select-many-from-few: http://plnkr.co/edit/Z4J5KX?p=preview

select-from-many: http://plnkr.co/edit/cs4FLN?p=preview

I'd be interested if anyone can see any ways these can be improved.

Cheers!
