AngularJS options with a simple_form checkbox

[bertly_the_coder]

Hi guys,

I'm using AngularJS with Rails nd simple_form and would like to know how one assigns ng-model to a checkbox in simple_form? I have tried adding it like this:

=f.input :super_admin , label: false, checked_value: true, unchecked_value: false, as: :boolean,:input_html=>{"ng-model"=>"superadmincbx"}

but my ng-hide does not work.

 

%span{"ng-hide"=>"superadmincbx"}

I'm also using the Batarang and checking/unchecking the checkbox does not trigger the corresponding changes in the scoped item. However, in my controller, if I add

 

$scope.superadmincbx = true;

it get's picked up by the checkbox(it's checked) and ng-hide works. What am I not seeing/doing wrong? I also have a drop-down select which works as expected when I use:

=f.association :survey_type, as: :select,:input_html =>{"ng-model"=>"survey_type"} which works fine.

Thanks for your help!

Not sure about rails, but one "gotcha" to look out for is the "dot" rule.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17178943/does-my-ng-model-really-need-to-have-a-dot-to-avoid-child-scope-problems
