Angular 2 Date Input not binding to date value

Question

html:

&l         


        

Answer 1

Angular 2 completely ignores type=date. If you change type to text you'll see that your input has two-way binding.

Here is pretty bad advise with better one to follow:

My project originally used jQuery. So, I'm using jQuery datepicker for now, hoping that angular team will fix the original issue. Also it's a better replacement because it has cross-browser support. FYI, input=date doesn't work in Firefox.

Good advise: There are few pretty good Angular2 datepickers:
