javascript - AngularJS get formatted date in ng-model

Question

I have following text input filled by model value in timestamp:

<input type="datetime" ng-model="workerDetail.dateOfBirth"  class="form-control" id="date_of_birth" />

It displays value in input as given timestamp.

I would like to convert value which is visible in input into formatted date (YYYY/MM/DD), but in model should be always as timestamp.

I tried to do it by this way:

{{workerDetail.dateOfBirth | date:'MMM'}}

But without luck.

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

You can try a filter

HTML

<input type="datetime" ng-model="mydateOfBirth"  class="form-control" id="date_of_birth" />

Controller JS

$scope.$watch('mydateOfBirth', function (newValue) {
    $scope.workerDetail.dateOfBirth = $filter('date')(newValue, 'yyyy/MM/dd'); 
});

$scope.$watch('workerDetail.dateOfBirth', function (newValue) {
    $scope.mydateOfBirth = $filter('date')(newValue, 'yyyy/MM/dd'); 
});
