Handling Multiple Sets of Checkboxes in VueJS

Creating forms that involve multiple questions can be quite tricky, especially when each question has multiple-choice answers represented by checkboxes. When using VueJS, you might find yourself needing a solution to effectively manage these checkboxes and their selected state, particularly when rendering them dynamically with v-for based on data fetched from your backend. In this guide, we will explore a structured approach to solve this challenge, allowing you to submit users' responses in an organized manner.

The Problem Defined

Imagine you receive an array of questions from your backend, where each question has multiple choices represented as checkboxes. The goal is to efficiently bind each checkbox to its corresponding question and capture all selected answers without overwriting previous selections. Here's how a sample question array might look:

The Challenge

If you were to use v-model on each checkbox directly tied to an array, the last selected checkbox would override the previous selections. Consequently, your resulting data structure may not accurately reflect the users' choices. You need a way to bind the selected choices alongside each question's ID to maintain the uniqueness of the selections.

The Solution

Step 1: Preparation of Data

To handle this, you first need to transform the data you fetched from your backend. You can add an empty array selectedChoices to each question object that will hold the choices selected by the user.

Here’s a code snippet demonstrating this:

Step 2: Rendering in Vue

Next, render your questions using the v-for directive in your Vue component's template, binding each checkbox's v-model to the selectedChoices array of the corresponding question.

Here's how your template should look:

Step 3: Submitting the Data

Once the user has made their selections, you'll want to structure the data for submission. Create a method for handling the form submission that formats the selected choices into an array before sending them to your backend:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can manage multiple sets of checkboxes in VueJS efficiently. Binding each checkbox to an array that represents the selected choices for each question allows you to submit your users' answers structured according to your requirements.

With this approach, you ensure that all selections remain intact and easily manipulable, making your form more functional and user-friendly.
