Launch an event when checking a checkbox in Angular2

I'm newbie in Angular2 and in web globally , I want to launch an action that changes an oject paramater value in the Database when checking a checkbox and or unchecking it using Material-Design, I tried with [(ngModel)] but nothing happened. the idea is that i have to add some propositions with checked | unchecked status to tell if it is a true or false proposition. Here is the proposition model

export class PropositionModel {
    id:string;
    wordingP:string; // the proposition
    propStatus:Boolean; // the proposition status
}

here is the Html code for a proposition :

<div class="uk-width-xlarge-1-1 uk-width-medium-1-2">
                <div (submit)="addProp1()" class="uk-input-group">
                    <span class="uk-input-group-addon"><input type="checkbox"  data-md-icheck/></span>
                    <label>Proposition 1</label>
                    <input [(ngModel)]="proposition1.wordingP" type="text" class="md-input" required class="md-input"/>
                </div>
            </div>

here is the TypeScript code for adding the proposition:

addProp1() {
        this.proposition1 = new PropositionModel();
        this.proposition1.propStatus = false;
        this.propositionService.addProposition(this.proposition1)
            .subscribe(response=> {
                console.log(response);
                console.log(this.proposition1);
                this.proposition1 = new PropositionModel();})
    }

And as you can see i made it a false by default for the proposition status and I want to change it once i checked the proposition. Here is an image how it looks for a better issue understanding. enter image description here

Any help Please ?

StackBlitz

Template: You can either use the native change event or NgModel directive's ngModelChange.

<input type="checkbox" (change)="onNativeChange($event)"/>

or

<input type="checkbox" ngModel (ngModelChange)="onNgModelChange($event)"/>

TS:

onNativeChange(e) { // here e is a native event
  if(e.target.checked){
    // do something here
  }
}

onNgModelChange(e) { // here e is a boolean, true if checked, otherwise false
  if(e){
    // do something here
  }
}

Check Demo: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-6-checkbox?embed=1&file=src/app/app.component.html

  CheckBox: use change event to call the function and pass the event.

<label class="container">    
   <input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="theCheckbox"  data-md-icheck 
    (change)="toggleVisibility($event)"/>
      Checkbox is <span *ngIf="marked">checked</span><span 
     *ngIf="!marked">unchecked</span>
     <span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
 <div>And <b>ngModel</b> also works, it's value is <b>{{theCheckbox}}</b></div>

If you add double paranthesis to the ngModel reference you get a two-way binding to your model property. That property can then be read and used in the event handler. In my view that is the most clean approach.

<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="myModel.property" (ngModelChange)="processChange()" />

You can use ngModel like

<input type="checkbox" [ngModel]="checkboxValue" (ngModelChange)="addProp($event)" data-md-icheck/>

To update the checkbox state by updating the property checkboxValue in your code and when the checkbox is changed by the user addProp() is called.
