$formatters and $parsers not called in AngularJS 1.6.2

Question

@version angularjs 1.6.2

I'm trying to do some formatters and parsers to have generic input/output for my really huge project.

The use case :

I have a custom component with ngModelController required on it, but when I use this component in my view with an attribute directive; which also requires ngModel to add $parser or $formatters; but when the value is changing into the component the $formatters or $parsers assign on it aren't called.

Te logic I would like

Component : ArtistSelect
Directive (parser) : ngObject ng-object-formatter="attribute_object" ng-object-parser="attribute_object" View :

<artist-select ng-model="model.artist" ng-object ng-object-formatter="id_artist"></artist-select>

I would like the model.artist being formatted like : {id_artist: integer} instead of only an integer.

Angular doc : Note that the $parsers are not called when the bound ngModel expression changes programmatically.

also

Angular Doc : Since ng-model does not do a deep watch, $render() is only invoked if the values of $modelValue and $viewValue are actually different from their previous values. If $modelValue or $viewValue are objects (rather than a string or number) then $render() will not be invoked if you only change a property on the objects.

How to make it work ?

WORKING PLUNKER : Behavior

Maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm overthinking the the things or maybe It's just not possible to do.

Your help will be really appreciated !

The implementation and a simple demo would be useful. At the moment, it's quite impossible to say where the problem is. — Narretz, Mar 30 '17 at 13:59
