Model is not a date object on input in AngularJS

by

You can use this directive;

angular.module('app')
.directive("formatDate", function(){
  return {
   require: 'ngModel',
    link: function(scope, elem, attr, modelCtrl) {
      modelCtrl.$formatters.push(function(modelValue){
        return new Date(modelValue);
      })
    }
  }
})

In your html;

<input type="date" ng-model="date" format-date>

$formatters

Array.<Function>

Array of functions to execute, as a pipeline, whenever the model value changes. The functions are called in reverse array order, each passing the value through to the next. The last return value is used as the actual DOM value. Used to format / convert values for display in the control.
