Checkbox angular material checked by default

You can either set with ngModel either with [checked] attribute. ngModel binded property should be set to 'true':

1.

  <mat-checkbox class = "example-margin" [(ngModel)] = "myModel"> 
    <label>Printer </label> 
  </mat-checkbox>

2.

<mat-checkbox [checked]= "myModel" class = "example-margin" > 
    <label>Printer </label> 
</mat-checkbox>

3.

<mat-checkbox [ngModel]="myModel" class="example-margin">
    <label>Printer </label> 
</mat-checkbox>

DEMO

this works for me in Angular 7

// in component.ts
checked: boolean = true;

changeValue(value) {
    this.checked = !value;
}

// in component.html
<mat-checkbox value="checked" (click)="changeValue(checked)" color="primary">
   some Label
</mat-checkbox>

I hope help someone ... greetings. let me know if someone have some easiest

There are several ways you can achieve this based on the approach you take. For reactive approach, you can pass the default value to the constructor of the FormControl(import from @angular/forms)

this.randomForm = new FormGroup({
      'amateur': new FormControl(false),
});

Instead of true or false value, yes you can send variable name as well like FormControl(this.booleanVariable)

In template driven approach you can use 1 way binding [ngModel]="this.booleanVariable" or 2 way binding [(ngModel)]="this.booleanVariable" like this

<mat-checkbox
     name="controlName"
     [(ngModel)]="booleanVariable">
     {{col.title}}
</mat-checkbox>

You can also use the checked directive provided by angular material and bind in similar manner

The chosen answer does work however I wanted to make a comment that having 'ngModel' on the html tag causes the checkbox checked to not be set to true.

This occurs when you are trying to do bind using the checked property. i.e.

<mat-checkbox [checked]='var' ngModel name='some_name'></mat-checkbox>

And then inside your app.component.ts file

var = true;

will not work.

TLDR: Remove ngModel if you are setting the checked through the [checked] property

    <mat-checkbox [checked]='var' name='some_name'></mat-checkbox>

Option 1: Setting the checkbox checked from the template:

<mat-checkbox checked="true"> I accept </mat-checkbox>

Option 2: Setting the value dynamically.

In the component.html file

<mat-checkbox [checked]="isChecked"> I accept </mat-checkbox>

inside the component.ts file

 isChecked:boolean;
 ngOnInit(): void {
  this.isChecked = true;  
 }

You need to make sure the checked property to be true inside the component.ts

export class CheckboxComponent implements OnInit {
 checked = true;
}

Make sure you have this code on you component:

export class Component {
  checked = true;
}

Set this in HTML:

    <div class="modal-body " [formGroup]="Form">
        <div class="">
            <mat-checkbox formControlName="a" [disabled]="true"> Display 1</mat-checkbox>
        </div>
        <div class="">
            <mat-checkbox formControlName="b"  [disabled]="true">  Display 2 </mat-checkbox>
        </div>
        <div class="">
            <mat-checkbox formControlName="c"  [disabled]="true">  Display 3 </mat-checkbox>
        </div>
        <div class="">
            <mat-checkbox formControlName="d"  [disabled]="true">  Display 4</mat-checkbox>
        </div>
        <div class="">
            <mat-checkbox formControlName="e"  [disabled]="true"> Display 5 </mat-checkbox>
        </div>
    </div>

Changes in Ts file

this.Form = this.formBuilder.group({
a: false,
b: false,
c: false,
d: false,
e: false,
});

Conditionvalidation in Ur Business logic

if(true){
this.Form.patch(a: true);
}

For check it with ngModel, make a merge between "ngModel" and "value", Example:

 <mat-checkbox [(ngModel)]="myVariable"  value="1" >Subscribe</mat-checkbox>

Where, myVariable = 1

Greeting

// in component.ts
checked: boolean = true;
indeterminate:boolean = false;
disabled:boolean = false;
label:string;

onCheck() {
    this.label = this.checked?'ON':'OFF';
}

// in component.html`enter code here`
<mat-checkbox class="example-margin" [color]="primary" [(ngModel)]="checked" [(indeterminate)]="indeterminate" [labelPosition]="after" [disabled]="disabled" (change)="onCheck()">
                    {{label}}
                  </mat-checkbox>

The above code should work fine. Mat checkbox allows you to make it checked/unchecked, disabled, set indeterminate state, do some operation onChange of the state etc. Refer API for more details.
