How to check is checkbox is checked angular2
<p>I want to check is checkbox is checked or unchecked in an if and else statement.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;md-checkbox id="mon" (change)="mon($event)" [checked]="true"&gt;Checked&lt;/md-checkbox&gt;



mon(e){
    if(e.target.checked){
      console.log("This is checked")
    } else {
      console.log("unchecked");
    }
  }
</code></pre>

<p>I think I am doing it really wrong. I keep getting can't get checked of undefined. How is the way to do this?</p>
