I'm using Angular version 2.4.5.
If I use the date pipe without any format it creates double dots after the year. If I use the pipe with the format: 'yyyyMM.dd.' it gives the correct date format
{{startDate | date}}=> 2017..07.07.{{startDate | date: 'yyyyMM.dd.'}}=> 2017.07.07.
Which means that I can not set this as the value of a date input because it waits for the format yyyy-MM-dd and yyyy always have a plus dot that causes an error on input element. Neither of these work:
<input type="date" class="form-control" id="startDate" [ngModel]="currentItem.startDate | date: 'y-MM-dd'"
(ngModelChange)="currentItem.startDate = $event" name="startdate">
How can I solve this without using a new model with a correctly converted date string?
Update 2017-07-12: currentItem.startDate is a Date() object eg:
let currentItem.startDate = new Date();
The locale I'm trying to use is 'hu-HU' but the two dots were present without any locale provider. In that case the date pipe without any format strings gave the correct format for the input. (yyyy-MM-dd)
{{currentItem.startDate | date}}
