AngularJS input date french
<p>I wanted to use an input[date] inside a form to enable users to use the modern browsers' support, without using a javascript datepicker.
For the ones who're using not supporting browsers, I'v set <a href="https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-mask" rel="nofollow">ui-mask</a>. Both work together.
I use the french format (dd/mm/YYYY).</p>

<pre><code>&lt;input type="date" ng-model="myDate" ui-mask="99/99/9999"&gt;
$scope.myDate = new Date("2016-02-12"); // works
$scope.myDate = "12/02/2016"; // Doesn't...
</code></pre>

<p>In an empty form, no problem, Angular accept it.
But with a filled form, Angular expects a date format I don't want : YYYY-mm-dd (javascript date object).</p>

<p>I can't understand why Angular only provides support that format, and not others like french format. Because I want the input[date] to show the french format, not the standard one !</p>

<p>Many modern browsers provides interesting support for dates, I can't understand why Angular waste that.</p>

<p>Or maybe I missed something ?</p>
