You're pretty close, you can use shorthand like this:
<label>
<input
type="checkbox" name="agreement" value="on"
{{ old('agreement') == 'on' ? 'checked' : '' }}
>
I Agree
</label>

How to set old value for checkbox input using Blade ?
Hi there,
I have a single checkbox input named user_agreement.
Using Chrome DevTools, I see that the checkbox is clicked - Form Data shows user_agreement: on.
Now I would like to set the checkbox to load old value when appropriate.
How to properly do that ?
I was thinking about this:
@if(old('user_agreement')=='on')) checked @endif
Is that a good way to go ?

@Swaz Thanks.. Why did you put in value="on" ?

Based on your example, I thought you had "on" as the value of your checkbox. The value can be anything you want, I would typically use "1" in cases like this.

Hi, I am facing this problem right now. But this solution has a problem with default values if checkbox value is in edit form.

<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="trend" value="1" @if (isset($product)) @if ($product->trend==1) checked @endif @endif id="">

For variable-based default value
In below, if $myDefault is set to true, it equals checking the check-box by default.
<input type="checkbox" value="myOnValue"
name="myField"
@if((!old() && $myDefault) || old('myField') == 'myOnValue') checked="checked" @endif />
Always checked by default
<input type="checkbox" value="on"
name="myField"
@if(!old() || old('myField') == 'on') checked="checked" @endif />
Always Unchecked by default
Below does not need "!old()" workaround.
<input type="checkbox" value="on"
name="myField"
@if(old('myField') == 'on') checked="checked" @endif />

I think you can use checked directive at least in Laravel 10 :D
