How to get values of node configuration checkboxes

Developing Nodes

To echo the answer by @Steve-Mcl - the below should cater for it.

The definition and necessary callbacks.

RED.nodes.registerType('my-module', {
    defaults: {
        bits: {
            value: []
        }
    },
    oneditsave: Save,
    oneditprepare: Restore

});

function Save() {
    const NumCheckBoxes = 3;
    this.bits = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < NumCheckBoxes; i++) {
        this.bits.push($(`#CheckBoxIndex_${i}`).is(":checked"));
    }
}

function Restore() {
    for (let i = 0; i < this.bits.length; i++) {
        $(`#CheckBoxIndex_${i}`).prop('checked', this.bits[i]);
    }
}

And the HTML. No need for the node-input- ID prefix, as they are not directly associated with a config definition.

<div class="form-row">
    <label  for="CheckBoxIndex_0" style="width:130px"><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> CheckBox 1</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="CheckBoxIndex_0">
</div>

<div class="form-row">
    <label  for="CheckBoxIndex_1" style="width:130px"><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> CheckBox 2</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="CheckBoxIndex_1">
</div>

<div class="form-row">
    <label  for="CheckBoxIndex_2" style="width:130px"><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> CheckBox 3</label>
    <input type="checkbox" id="CheckBoxIndex_2">
</div>

Then, in your module
config.bits[0] will yield true | false for checkbox 1
