953365 - support checkbox type for simple prefs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 710113

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

Type: checkbox
Description:
Displayed as checkboxes. The type of the stored value is an array.

The options are specified by a mandatory "options" attribute, that is an array of objects with mandatory attributes "label" and "value"

The values of the "value" attributes must be supplied as strings.

Example Specification:

{
    "name": "enabled_sites",
    "type": "checkbox",
    "title": "Enabled Sites",
    "options": [
        {
            "value": "github",
            "label": "GitHub",
        },
        {
            "value": "google",
            "label": "Google Code Hosting",
        }
    ]
}

Then:

prefs = require('sdk-simple-prefs').prefs;

if (prefs.enabled_sites.indexOf('github') > -1) {
  // do the stuff if github is enabled in preferences
}
