How can I using checkbox for select one (just like radio), my code:

```
<div *ngFor="let address of addresses; let i = index;">
    <ion-item>
    <ion-checkbox id="cb_{{address.id}}" (ionChange)="selectedAddress(address.id,addresses,i)" checked="false"></ion-checkbox>
    </ion-item>
</div>

```

in ts file:

```
selectedAddress(id,addresses,index){
  for(let i=0; i<addresses.length; i++){
    if(index != i){
      document.getElementById("cb_"+addresses[i].id).checked = false;
    }
  }
}

```

but it is not working, anyone know how to achieve it? thanks a lot
