Angular 2 Date Input not binding to date value
Angular 2 , 4 and 5 :
the simplest way : plunker
<input type="date" [ngModel] ="dt | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'" (ngModelChange)="dt = $event">
Instead of [(ngModel)] you can use:
// view<input type="date" #myDate [value]="demoUser.date | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'" (input)="demoUser.date=parseDate($event.target.value)" />// controllerparseDate(dateString: string): Date { if (dateString) { return new Date(dateString); } return null;}You can also choose not to use parseDate function. In this case the date will be saved as string format like "2016-10-06" instead of Date type (I haven't tried whether this has negative consequences when manipulating the data or saving to database for example).
In your component
let today: string;ngOnInit() { this.today = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];}and in your html file
<input name="date" [(ngModel)]="today" type="date" required>
