Angular-UI One day is subtracted from date in ui-date

Question

The situation I want to use ui-date to set/edit a date in my app. I use the latest stable versions of angular, angular-ui, jquery-ui etc.

The problem As soon as a date is selected using the datepicker the date in my model will equal the selected date minus 1 day. It will also get send to my server and saved in my database this way.

The plunker http://plnkr.co/edit/Ft14Wa?p=preview Initially the date in the datepicker input and the date in my model are the same. After picking a date they differ.

The question What is going (wr)on(g) here???

Answer 1

ui-date expects your model to be an actual date object. In your case it's a string. If you take a look at the console you'll see that angularUI actually informs you about that. Then it advises you to add additional ui-date-format tag with the specified date format with which your date string will be parsed into date object.

Long story short, your need to adjust your input as this:

<input ui-date="{dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd'}" ui-date-format="yy-mm-dd" ng-model="customer.contract_end_date"></input>
