#Dependencies
Requires:
* AngularJS 1.4.x or higher
* MomentJS 2.1.x or higher
#Testing
We use karma and linting tools to ensure the quality of the code. The easiest way to run these checks is to use grunt:
```
npm install
npm test
```
The karma task will try to open Chrome as a browser in which to run the tests. Make sure this is available or change the configuration in test\test.config.js
#Usage
## Bower
This project does not directly support bower. If you are using wiredep, you can dd the following to your
bower.json file to allow wiredep to use this directive.
```json
"overrides": {
"angular-date-time-input": {
"main": [
"src/dateTimeInput.js",
],
"dependencies": {
"angular": "^1.x",
"moment": "^2.x"
}
}
}
```
## NPM
We use npm for dependency management. Add the following to your package
```shell
npm install angular-date-time-input --save
```
This will copy the angular-date-time-input files into your node_modules folder, along with its dependencies.
Load the script files in your application:
```html
```
Add this module as a dependency to your application module:
```html
var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.dateTimeInput'])
```
Apply the directive to your form elements:
```html
```
## Options
The value of the date-time-input attribute is the format the date values will be displayed.
Nota bene: The value saved in the model is, by default, a JavaScript ```Date``` object, not a string.
This can result in differences between what is seen in the model and what is displayed.
### date-time-input
This option controls the way the date is displayed in the view, not the model.
```html
```
See MomentJS documentation for valid formats.
### date-formats
This option defines additional input formats that will be accepted.
```html
```
Nota bene: Parsing multiple formats is considerably slower than parsing a single format.
If you can avoid it, it is much faster to parse a single format.
See [MomentJS documentation] (http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-formats) for more information.
### date-parse-strict
This option enables/disables strict parsing of the input formats.
```html
```
### model-type
```html
```
Default: ```'Date'```
Specifies the data type to use when storing the selected date in the model.
Accepts any string value, but the following values have special meaning (these values are case sensitive) :
* ```'Date'``` stores a Date instance in the model. Will accept Date, moment, milliseconds, and ISO 8601 strings as initial input from the model
* ```'moment'``` stores a moment instance in the model. Accepts the same initial values as ```Date```
* ```'milliseconds'``` store the epoch milliseconds (since 1-1-1970) in the model. Accepts the same initial values as ```Date```
Any other value is considered a custom format string.
