Ionic 2 datetime component doesn't trigger change event when setting default value

Question

I m using Ionic datetime component in my ionic app

    <ion-datetime 
        displayFormat="YYYY/MM/DD" 
        pickerFormat="YYYY MMMM DD" [(ngModel)]="summaryDate" 
       (ionChange)="getDashboardItemsByDate()">
   </ion-datetime>

and in .ts file I set default date to current date like this

 public summaryDate: any = new Date().toISOString();

This works perfectly fine, but however the problem I have is, it invokes ionChange event at the beginning (as I have set default value for this component). I just want to trigger this event when user selects the date not at the beginning when I set its default value. Any help?

Answer 1

This should work fine

(ionChange)="changed($event)"

notice ($event)

Answer 2

Use (ngModelChange) of angular instead of (ionChange)

It's a bug from ionic. https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic/issues/7806 Try updating ionic to the last version, maybe it's fixed. But the angular way will work just fine.
