Angular UI Bootstrap date-picker Combined With UI.Mask

angular-ui, angularjs, angularjs-directive, javascript

Solution

The following snippet worked for me:

.config(function ($provide) {

  $provide.decorator('datepickerPopupDirective', function ($delegate) {
    var directive = $delegate[0];
    var link = directive.link;

    directive.compile = function () {
      return function (scope, element, attrs) {
        link.apply(this, arguments);
        element.mask("99/99/9999");
      };
    };

    return $delegate;
  });

});

It simply decorates the datepicker directive with a mask provided by jquery.maskedinput.js. Have fun!

Problem

I am using the angular UI bootstrap popup date-picker to build a directive that will easily allow me to add the date-picker where need. When I combine this with the uiMask Directive, the values in the input get scrambled when I pick a date. Here is my html: ``` <p class="input-group"> <input type="text" class="form-control" ui-mask="99/99/9999" ng-model="ngModel" ng-model="order.date" datepicker-popup="MM/dd/yyyy" is-open="opened" datepicker-options="dateOptions" date-disabled="disabled(date, mode)" ng-required="true" close-text="Close" /> <span class="input-group-btn"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event)"> <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i> </button> </span> </p> ``` And my JS: ``` /** * DATE PICKER */ $scope.today = function () { $scope.dt = new Date(); }; $scope.today(); $scope.clear = function () { $scope.dt = null; }; // Disable weekend selection $scope.disabled = function (date, mode) { return (mode === 'day' && (date.getDay() === 0 || date.getDay() === 6)); }; $scope.toggleMin = function () { $scope.minDate = $scope.minDate ? null : new Date(); }; $scope.toggleMin(); $scope.open = function ($event) { $event.preventDefault(); $event.stopPropagation(); $scope.opened = true; }; $scope.dateOptions = { formatYear: 'yy', startingDay: 1 }; $scope.initDate = new Date('2016-15-20'); $scope.formats = ['dd-MMMM-yyyy', 'yyyy/MM/dd', 'dd.MM.yyyy', 'shortDate']; $scope.format = $scope.formats[0]; ``` I would like to be able to use the ui-mask functionality to make typing dates easier by not having to type the `/`s. Is it possible to be able to use these together?
