I am trying to create this html block in javascript:

<label>
  <input name="{{ $amenity->name }}" type="checkbox" class="minimal">
  text
</label>

I have:

var checkBox = document.createElement("input");
var label_input = document.createElement("label");
label_input.innerHTML = value.name;
label_input.appendChild(checkBox);

But the result is 

<label>
  text
  <input name="{{ $amenity->name }}" type="checkbox" class="minimal">
</label>

and I tried to add the checkbox first and then the text but no success.

Try using document.createTextNode for appending text content to the end of the label.

var checkBox = document.createElement("input");
var label_input = document.createElement("label");
label_input.appendChild(checkBox);
label_input.appendChild(document.createTextNode(value.name));
