Gin How to handle the checkbox status in a form?

Description

Hi,

After a lot of googling, I couldn't find anything. There is some content about Checkbox groups but it doesn't meet my need.

How to reproduce

This is the form:

<form action="/p1" method="post">
<label for="ex-checkbox">a checkbox</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="ex-checkbox" />
</form>

Go code:

.......

type CheckboxForm {
// checked or unchecked > true or false
    CheckboxStatus bool `form:"ex-checkbox"`
}
var form CheckboxForm
err = c.ShouldBind(&form)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(form)
....

Expectations

if checkbox is cheched field is true, or false

Actual result

Environment

input checkbox value is no or "", so not use boolean, use string; judge value

Comment From: Gasoid

<input type="checkbox" name="ex-checkbox" value="yes"/>

type CheckboxForm struct{
    CheckboxStatus string `form:"ex-checkbox"`
}
