Laravel Checkbox not getting set correctly

Question

Given the following code, all my checkboxes (roles) are marked as checked, even though the user only has one role.

Using Laravel and Spatie Laravel Permissions Package.

I tried the same code in Tinker and it comes back with True, False, False, so it should be working...

@foreach ($roles as $role)
    <div>
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" value="{{ $role->name }}" checked="{{ $user->hasRole($role->name) ? 'checked' : '' }}">
            <span>
                {{ $role->name }}
            </span>
        </label>
    </div>
@endforeach

Change your input element to:

<input type="checkbox" value="{{ $role->name }}" {{ $user->hasRole($role->name) ? 'checked' : '' }}>

Checkboxes have a simple checked attribute, you don't assign a value to it.

Thanks for this! I am so sure I tried that first, but then in my annoyance I must have changed another part of the code that fixed the problem and then proceeded to break it again :)
