Menu
I am using bootstrap date-picker in my angular application. However when I select a date from that date-picker underlying ng-model that I have bind gets updated I want that ng-model in one date format 'MM/dd/yyyy'. but it every times makes date like this
"2009-02-03T18:30:00.000Z"
instead of
02/04/2009
I have created a plunkr for the same plunkr link
My Html and controller code is like below
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.10/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.11.0.js"></script>
<script src="example.js"></script>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div ng-controller="DatepickerDemoCtrl">
<pre>Selected date is: <em>{{dt | date:'MM/dd/yyyy' }}</em></pre>
<p>above filter will just update above UI but I want to update actual ng-modle</p>
<h4>Popup</h4>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<p class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control"
datepicker-popup="{{format}}"
ng-model="dt"
is-open="opened" min-date="minDate"
max-date="'2015-06-22'"
datepicker-options="dateOptions"
date-disabled="disabled(date, mode)"
ng-required="true" close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event)">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<!--<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<label>Format:</label> <select class="form-control" ng-model="format" ng-options="f for f in formats"><option></option></select>
</div>
</div>-->
<hr />
{{dt}}
</div>
</body>
</html>
Angular controller
angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
var DatepickerDemoCtrl = function ($scope) {
$scope.open = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.opened = true;
};
$scope.dateOptions = {
formatYear: 'yy',
startingDay: 1
};
$scope.format = 'dd-MMMM-yyyy';
};
Thanks in advance for review my question.
UPDATE
I am calling below method for posting my data and VAR is array of size 900 which contains date-picker variables.
public SaveCurrentData(formToSave: tsmodels.ResponseTransferCalculationModelTS) {
var query = this.EntityQuery.from('SaveFormData').withParameters({
$method: 'POST',
$encoding: 'JSON',
$data: {
VAR: formToSave.VAR,
X: formToSave.X,
CurrentForm: formToSave.currentForm,
}
});
var deferred = this.q.defer();
this.manager.executeQuery(query).then((response) => {
deferred.resolve(response);
}, (error) => {
deferred.reject(error);
});
return deferred.promise;
}

Although similar answers have been posted I'd like to contribute what seemed to be the easiest and cleanest fix to me. Assuming you are using the AngularUI datepicker and your initial value for the ng-Model does not get formatted simply adding the following directive to your project will fix the issue:
angular.module('yourAppName')
.directive('datepickerPopup', function (){
return {
restrict: 'EAC',
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, element, attr, controller) {
//remove the default formatter from the input directive to prevent conflict
controller.$formatters.shift();
}
}
});
I found this solution in the Github AngularUI issues and therefore all credit goes to the people over there.

You can make use of $parsers as shown below,this solved it for me.
window.module.directive('myDate', function(dateFilter) {
return {
restrict: 'EAC',
require: '?ngModel',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
ngModel.$parsers.push(function(viewValue) {
return dateFilter(viewValue,'yyyy-MM-dd');
});
}
};
});
HTML:
<p class="input-group datepicker" >
<input
type="text"
class="form-control"
name="name"
datepicker-popup="yyyy-MM-dd"
date-type="string"
show-weeks="false"
ng-model="data[$parent.editable.name]"
is-open="$parent.opened"
min-date="minDate"
close-text="Close"
ng-required="{{editable.mandatory}}"
show-button-bar="false"
close-on-date-selection="false"
my-date />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="openDatePicker($event)">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i>
</button>
</span>
</p>
I ran into the same problem and after a couple of hours of logging and investigating, I fixed it.
It turned out that for the first time the value is set in a date picker, $viewValue is a string so the dateFilter displays it as is. All I did is parse it into a Date object.
Search for that block in ui-bootstrap-tpls file
ngModel.$render = function() {
var date = ngModel.$viewValue ? dateFilter(ngModel.$viewValue, dateFormat) : '';
element.val(date);
updateCalendar();
};
and replace it by:
ngModel.$render = function() {
ngModel.$viewValue = new Date(ngModel.$viewValue);
var date = ngModel.$viewValue ? dateFilter(ngModel.$viewValue, dateFormat) : '';
element.val(date);
updateCalendar();
};
Hopefully this will help :)
