README.md is outdated

[mpiasta-ca]

1. The current README file does not mention using a form-control class on the target field, but when not used, script throws error: show-errors element has no child input elements with a 'name' attribute and a 'form-control' class <div class="form-group" show-errors="">.

2. Using .form-control class on a checkbox, ie. requiring a user to check that they agree with your terms and conditions, it's invalid bootstrap code for a checkbox. So the result is the checkbox has style applied to it that makes it look really messed up (appears gigantic and with a shadow border). Therefore, angular-bootstrap-show-errors should not rely on a form-control class being present.

Checkbox without .form-control class:

+1 here, anyone found a workaround for the checkboxes problem?

Current workaround: Manually add the has-error class:

<form name="myFormName">
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="checkbox" ng-class="{'has-error': myFormName.myCheckboxName.$invalid}">
            <label>
                <input type="checkbox" name="myCheckboxName"/>>
                <span>My checkbox label</span>
            </label>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>
