AngularJS multiple checkboxes doubts (Angular Material)

Question

I'm trying to get multiple Angular Material checkboxes with the same ng-model. I have two problems: how to get default checked checkboxes, and how to make at least one of these checkboxes to be required. I tried with ng-checked, but then I can't POST the values through the form.

HTML

      <label for="inputPassword3" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Školski sat *</label>
      <div class="col-sm-10" >
        <span class="col-sm-2" ng-repeat="period in periods">
          <md-checkbox ng-model="form.periods[period]" ng-click="toggle(period, selected)">
            {{ period }}. sat
          </md-checkbox>
        </span>{{selected | json}}
      </div>

App.js

$scope.periods = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]; /*broj sati*/
      $scope.selected = [2];
      $scope.toggle = function (period, list) {
        var idx = list.indexOf(period);
        if (idx > -1) {
          list.splice(idx, 1);
        }
        else {
          list.push(period);
        }
      };
      $scope.exists = function (period, list) {
        return list.indexOf(period) > -1;
      };

Please, help.

Actually your ngModel is an object, so to get selected value rendered on load, you should do the following:

$scope.model = {};
$scope.model.periods = {"2": true};

And to get all selected checkboxes you should iterate over the keys, as below:

$scope.save = function() {
  // Get all checked boxes
  var checked = Object.keys($scope.model.periods).filter(function(key) {
    return $scope.model.periods[key];
  });
  console.log(checked);
}

See it working:

(function() {
  angular
    .module('app', ['ngMaterial'])
    .controller('MainCtrl', MainCtrl);

  MainCtrl.$inject = ['$scope'];

  function MainCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.model = {};
    $scope.model.periods = {"2": true};
    $scope.periods = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]; /*broj sati*/

    $scope.save = function() {
      // Get all checked boxes
      var checked = Object.keys($scope.model.periods).filter(function(key) {
        return $scope.model.periods[key];
      });
      console.log(checked);
    }
  }
})();

      <span ng-bind="model.periods | json"></span>
      <hr>
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-success" ng-click="save()">Save data</button>
    </div>
  </form>
</body>

</html>

I hope it helps.
