How to force a dynamic checkbox group to always return a list on submit

[GV94]

I have a dynamic group of checkboxes in a form

Example

  <form>
     {listOfStuff.map(thing => <input type="checkbox" name="stuff" value={thing.name} />
  </form>

I want to handle this data as an array, but if I only render one checkbox (listOfStuff.length === 1), the value is string, not a an array of strings. Is there a way to enforce this without having to render an invisible checkbox?

I think it's probably easier to build a controlled input and wrapped with Controller, then you can easier to manage your data type.

Alright, thank you for the response.
