input checkbox field

I need to create a checkbox input field and link that to a custom field. As in whatever input we give in the checkbox, that value should be stored in a custom checkbox field. How can I do this?

hi,
try below dummy cmp. 
public class updateAccountCtrl {
    @AuraEnabled
    public static void updateCheckboxField(string recId, boolean checkboxValue){
        Account Acc = new Account();
        Acc.Id = recId;
        Acc.CustomCheckboxField__c = checkboxValue;
       // Acc.Name = checkboxValue;
        update Acc;
            
        
    }

}
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,
                            flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,
                            forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" 
                access="global" controller="updateAccountCtrl">
    <lightning:input type="checkbox" label="custom Checkbox" name="checkbox" aura:id="idCheckbox"/>
    <lightning:button name="click" label="Update" onclick="{!c.handleUpdate}"/>
	
</aura:component>

-------------------------------------------

({
	handleUpdate : function(component, event, helper) {
        var getValue = component.find('idCheckbox').get('v.value');
        var action = component.get("c.updateCheckboxField");
        action.setParams({ recId : component.get("v.recordId"),checkboxValue :  getValue});
        action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
            var state = response.getState();
            if (state === "SUCCESS") {
                alert("Update Successfully");
     }
            else if (state === "INCOMPLETE") {
                // do something
            }
            else if (state === "ERROR") {
                var errors = response.getError();
                if (errors) {
                    if (errors[0] && errors[0].message) {
                        console.log("Error message: " + 
                                 errors[0].message);
                    }
                } else {
                    console.log("Unknown error");
                }
            }
        });

        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    }
})

Add it on RecordDetailPage

hi Akshiiiii,
you can create a checkbox field as formula and value will be stored based on custom field.
1.) create a formula field returnType should be checkbox and in formula field put ref. of custom checkbox field. you only need put api name of that customfield and then save.

hi veer soni,
Thanks for your reply but this is not what I am looking for. I need to create a checkbox in aura component and whatever value the user gives in that checkbox should be stored in a custom field. How can I achieve this?
 
ravi soniravi soni
you can achieve this by calling apex class.
simply when user put data into checkbox field, that is in aura, at that time you can call apex method and update value.
If your cmp is added on recordPage then simply you can pass 2 params into apex first is recordId and second one is checkbox value.

if it helpful to you then don't forget to mark it as best answer.
Thank you
