I have a list of dynamic checkboxes using keyvalue pipe that returns objects rather than just array of selected IDs.
can anyone help pls, I need the form to submit just an array of selected user IDs.

EDIT here's the log of a similar form with a multi-select (countries): console log
I need users (checkboxes) to return an array like countries (multi-select) as in the log above.
Change your OnSubmit function to
onSubmit() {
console.log(this.userForm.value);
var usersObj = this.userForm.value.users;
var selectedUserIds = [];
for (var userId in usersObj) {
if (usersObj.hasOwnProperty(userId)) {
if(usersObj[userId])//If selected
{
selectedUserIds.push(userId);
}
}
}
console.log(selectedUserIds);
}
Here is updated code

If you want to submit as a Form then add a hidden field to form
<input type="hidden" name="selectedUserIds" value=""/>
set value selectedUserIds from onSubmit and submit the form code.
So, it happens that I have been overthinking the solution in thinking that like the multiselect, checkboxes would/could return a ready array of selected items.
The rather simple solution was from reading another of Eliseo's posts combined with Jaba Prince's answer:
onSubmit() {
var usersObj = this.userForm.value.users;
var selectedUserIds = [];
for (var userId in usersObj) {
if (usersObj.hasOwnProperty(userId)) {
if(usersObj[userId])//If selected
{
selectedUserIds.push(userId);
}
}
}
let data = {
users: selectedUserIds
}
console.log(data);
// post data in service call
}
Many thanks to you two!
console.log(Object.keys(this.userForm.value.users));
