AngularJS Data Binding of chrome DateTime control not working After Update 24.0.1312.52

Question

Hope anyone else also observed this:-

We are using AngularJS 1.0 and using type="date" with element to get Chrome's nice default datetime picker. Everything was working fine till chrome updated itself recently to [24.0.1312.52]. Now If I change date using datetime picker, AngularJS data binding does not save it to bind json property of $scope.

If I change date via any keyboard key down, Data binding saves the date to property bind.

What could be the reason causing this problem.?

I have noticed the same behavior and noticed that Sutikshan was on the right path.

HTML 5 input date requires the value to be in RF 3339 format, therefore, we can adjust our AngularJS input directive to format and parse the value accordingly.

angular.module('myApp', []).directive('input', ['$filter',
function($filter) {
    return {
        require: '?ngModel',
        restrict: 'E',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
            if (!ngModel || attrs.type != "date") return;

            // Using AngularJS built in date filter, convert our date to RFC 3339
            ngModel.$formatters = [function(value) {
                return value && angular.isDate(value)
                    ? $filter('date')(value, 'yyyy-MM-dd')
                    : '';
            }];

            // Convert the string value to Date object.
            ngModel.$parsers = [function(value) {
                return value && angular.isString(value)
                    ? new Date(value)
                    : null;
            }];
        }
    };
}]);

The basics is that we ensure that the NgModelController uses our $formatters and $parsers when updating the view value and model value, respectively.

var module = angular.module('demoApp',[]);

module.directive('input', function () {
  return {
    require: '?ngModel',
    restrict: 'E',
    link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
      if ( attrs.type="date" && ngModel ) {
        element.bind('change', function () {
          scope.$apply(function() {
            ngModel.$setViewValue(element.val());
          });
