AngularJS checkbox checked custom value

Question

I'm trying to have a box checked by default with a custom value.

Are you ready? <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checked" ng-init="checked=true" ng-true-value="sure" ng-false-value="nope"><br/>
<tt> {{checked}}</tt><br/>

If I set it to that nothing displays until I click the box. Is there a way to where it can be checked with a default value being something other than a boolean value?

Answer 1

ng-true-value="sure". So, ng-init="checked='sure'"

Code Snippet

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="checked" ng-init="checked='sure'" ng-true-value="sure" ng-false-value="nope">
