How do I get a list of checkboxes for the item addition form?

Question

I know how to get a list of selected checkboxes for a entry:

{% for option in entry.myFieldHandle.options %}
  Label: {{ option.label }}
  Value: {{ option }} or {{ option.value }}
{% endfor %}

But I can't figure out how to simply display a list of available checkboxes of a certain field in the template. This may be needed if I want, for example, to create a form for adding a entry. Is there such a construction?

If you need to get the options independent of any specific entry, you can use the fields service to get the field and retrieve its options.

{% set field = craft.app.fields.getFieldByHandle('myFieldHandle') %}
{% for option in field.options %}`

In this case, option will be an array with the keys value, label and default (this will be '1' if the option is the default, or an empty string).
