Trying to get ngbdatepicker input value

Question

I'm a beginner with angular 4 and I'm trying to implement a bootstrap ngbdatepicker in a website.

Here is my HTML code :

<div class="input-group ">
    <input id="datepicker" class="form-control col-7" placeholder="{{dateWording}}" ngbDatepicker #date="ngbDatepicker" required pattern="[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}">
    <div class="input-group-append">
        <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary picto-calender" (click)="date.toggle()" type="button"></button>
    </div>
</div>

I tried to use events as (clic) or (blur) to access to my input value by using getDate(#date.value) but nothing worked properly. Here is my getDate method which return undefined value in the browser console.

getDate(date: any) {
    this.date = date;
    console.log(this.date);
}

So my two questions are :

• How can I get the value of my input to save it in my .ts
• What function could I use to detect that I choose a date in the datepicker menu and save the value when the menu is closing

Hope you'll can help me and sorry for my bad english !

Answer 1

You can use (ngModelChange) to get the date value.i have changed your code check this out

<div class="input-group ">
    <input id="datepicker" class="form-control col-7" [(ngModel)]="model" 
     placeholder="" ngbDatepicker #date="ngbDatepicker" required 
  (ngModelChange)="select(model)" pattern="[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}">
   <div class="input-group-append">
       <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary picto-calender" 
  (click)="date.toggle()" type="button"></button>
     </div>

and your component.ts should like this

   select(model){  
      console.log(model);
    }

Answer 2

you can use ngModel to store the selected date in an Object of type NgbDateStruct. it contains three properties month,year and day . Then you can create a Date object from that. In this example I am setting the value of the selected date in dateSelect event of the datepicker, also the value is set in the object declared as ngModel.

HTML

<div class="input-group ">
    <input id="datepicker" class="form-control col-7" placeholder="{{dateWording}}" ngbDatepicker #date="ngbDatepicker" required pattern="[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}" [(ngModel)]="currentDateObj" name="date" (dateSelect) = "onSelect($event)">
    <div class="input-group-append">
        <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary picto-calender" (click)="date.toggle()" type="button"></button>
    </div>
</div> 

ts file code

import {Component} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'ngbd-datepicker-popup',
  templateUrl: './datepicker-popup.html'
})
export class NgbdDatepickerPopup {
  public model:any = {};
  public selectedDate:Date;
  public dateWording:string = "yyyy-mm-dd";
  public currentDateObj:any = {};
  onSelect(evt:any){
    this.selectedDate = new Date(evt.year,evt.month-1,evt.day);
    console.log(this.selectedDate);
  }


}
