How do I display number of selected items in checkbox?

Question

How do I display the number of selected items?

I've tried different ways to count the checkbox but it did not count the items when I click "select all".

I want to show the number of these items.

This is the code I am using.

You can use simple getCheckedValues.length like:

$(function() {
    // ID selector on Master Checkbox
    var masterCheck = $("#masterCheck");
    // ID selector on Items Container
    var listCheckItems = $("#list-wrapper :checkbox");

    // Click Event on Master Check
    masterCheck.on("click", function() {
      var isMasterChecked = $(this).is(":checked");
      listCheckItems.prop("checked", isMasterChecked);
      getSelectedItems();
    });

    // Change Event on each item checkbox
    listCheckItems.on("change", function() {
      // Total Checkboxes in list
      var totalItems = listCheckItems.length;
      // Total Checked Checkboxes in list
      var checkedItems = listCheckItems.filter(":checked").length;

      //If all are checked
      if (totalItems == checkedItems) {
        masterCheck.prop("indeterminate", false);
        masterCheck.prop("checked", true);
      }
      // Not all but only some are checked
      else if (checkedItems > 0 && checkedItems < totalItems) {
        masterCheck.prop("indeterminate", true);
      }
      //If none is checked
      else {
        masterCheck.prop("indeterminate", false);
        masterCheck.prop("checked", false);
      }
      getSelectedItems();
    });

    function getSelectedItems() {
      var getCheckedValues = [];
      getCheckedValues = [];
      listCheckItems.filter(":checked").each(function() {
        getCheckedValues.push($(this).val());
      });
      $("#selected-values").html(JSON.stringify(getCheckedValues));
      $("#selected-number").html('<p>Number of element selected: '+ getCheckedValues.length + '</p>');
    }
  });
