Datepicker ng-bootstrap format

Question

I use ng-bootstrap datepicker, but when I save the form, the date is saved as.

date: {
  day: 01,
  month: 12,
  year: 16
}

I was hoping that I could save him as something more than "2016-11-23T00:39:31.768Z"

Here is my implementation:

<div class="input-group">
  <button class="input-group-btn" (click)="d.toggle()" >
    <md-icon svgSrc="assets/images/calendar-plus.svg" style="cursor: pointer;"></md-icon>
  </button>
  <input class="form-control" placeholder="dd-mm-yyyy" name="dp" formControlName="due_date" navigation="arrows" ngbDatepicker #d="ngbDatepicker">
</div>

And form.component:

constructor( private fb: FormBuilder ) {
    this.form = this.fb.group({
      due_date: [''],
    });
  }

Answer 1

You are using ng-bootstrap, not ng2-bootstrap (different groups). In the code that is behind it is used NgbDateStruct, which is the object{ day, month, year }

When presenting, you will need to connect and change the value to something else, for example:

onSubmit(): {
    let ngbDate = this.form.controls['due_date'].value;
    let myDate = new Date(ngbDate.year, ngbDate.month-1, ngbDate.day);
    let formValues = this.form.value;
    formValues['due_date'] = myDate;
    <...>
    http.post(url, formValues);
}
