# Checkbox Interceptor

This interceptor is defined in the `defaultStack`. It checks each form parameter submitted to the action and if it finds one with a prefix of `_checkbox` it inserts a value for a parameter whose name is derived from the suffix to `_checkbox` if it does not exist. The default value inserted is `false` but this can be changed by setting the `uncheckedValue` parameter on the interceptor.

This means that a checkbox can be accompanied by a hidden input with the same name but a prefix of `_checkbox` so that if the checkbox is not checked on the form the action will still receive a value rather than the default HTML action of not providing a value for unchecked checkboxes.

## Parameters

- `uncheckedValue` - the default value of an unchecked box can be overridden by setting the `uncheckedValue` property.

## Extending the Interceptor

This interceptor does not have any known extension points.
