Usage examples

datetime service

// Setup dependency
angular.module("myApp", ["datetime"]);

// Use datetime parser
angular.controller("myController", function(datetime){
	// Create a parser
	var parser = datetime("yyyy-MM-dd");

	// Set to current date
	parser.setDate(new Date);
	parser.getText();	// -> "2015-01-30"

	// Parse a date string
	parser.parse("2015-01-30");
	parser.getDate();	// -> DateTime object

	// Other properties
	parser.format;	// -> "yyyy-MM-dd"

	// Catch the parsing error
	try {
		parser.parse("2015-123-456");
	} catch (err) {
		console.log(err);	// -> {code: "...", message: "...", ...}
	}
});

datetime directive

Check demo page for live example.

<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd" ng-model="myDate">
<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd" ng-model="myDate" required>
<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd" ng-model="myDate" min="Jan 1, 1990" max="Dec 31, 2050">
<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd" ng-model="myDate" datetime-model="yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss">
<input type="text" datetime="yyyy-MM-dd" ng-model="myDate" default="Jan 1, 2000">

Parsing errors

• TEXT_MISMATCH
• NUMBER_MISMATCH
• NUMBER_TOOSHORT
• NUMBER_TOOSMALL
• LEADING_ZERO
• SELECT_MISMATCH
• SELECT_INCOMPLETE
• REGEX_MISMATCH
• TEXT_TOOLONG
• INCONSISTENT_INPUT

Known issues

• 2 digit year 'yy' is ambiguous when converting datestring back to date object (Ex. 14 -> 2014, 1914, ...). You should avoid it.

Todos

• Errors throwed by angular-datetime should have its own type.
• Put some error handler into factory?
• Day node should give different proper values depends on month when NUMBER_TOOLARGE.
