Currently trying to use a standard datepicker but combine it with an input mask to make it easier to enter the date by hand if the user needs to.
The problem at the moment is that when I add the mask one of two things happens, either hand typing the date into the field doesn't work (meaning as soon as I finish it deletes the value from the field) OR it succeeds in updating the model value but when I open the datepicker
it is set to the year 1500
.
The plunk has both a masked and unmasked version of the input.
HTML
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="MM/dd/yyyy" ng-model="dt" is-open="opened" min-date="'2010-01-02'" max-date="dt" ng-required="true" close-text="Close" show-weeks="false" show-button-bar="false" ui-mask="99/99/9999" />
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event)"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
JS
.controller('DatepickerDemoCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.dt = new Date();
$scope.open = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.opened = true;
};
});
