ReactJS and JSX - can I have uncontrolled checkbox?

Question

In React I can have uncontrolled text inputs by using defaultValue property. However, there is no such property for checkboxes (there is only checked, which makes it controlled). I have a huge form with lots of checkboxes, but user can't change them! Probably I can use two-way data binding mixin, but docs suggest not to use them, so I'm stuck.

Answer 1

Use defaultChecked
