title: angular2 checkbox formcontrol
body: <p>For a simple checkbox with a string value bound to a FormControl:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export class CheckboxComponent {
    formControl: FormControl;
    option: {value: string};
  
    constructor() {
      this.formControl = new FormControl(); 
      this.option = {value: "MyValue"};
  
           this.formControl.valueChanges.subscribe(console.log);
    }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;input type="checkbox" [formControl]="formControl" [value]="option.value" name="SomeName" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  
  
  <p>The output of the subscribe is true, false, true, false....
  I want the angular 2 to bind the string value "MyValue" in the FormControl.</p>
  
  <p>By default angular 2, FormControl and checkboxes seem to bind boolean values which is strange since default browser submit behaviour is to send the value of the checkbox and, in the case of multiple checkboxes with the same name, an array of checkbox values bound to the name of the checkboxes. </p>
  
  <p>Would be pretty useless to submit:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Items=[true, false, true, true, true, false]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Items=[Toothbrush, Floss, Glock, Clean underwear]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So in essence: How to make angular 2 bind the string value not the boolean value?</p>
  
  <p>Kind regards,</p>
