moment-picker in form stays pristine about angular-moment-picker HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @AKFourSeven, this seems to be related to #17.
Have you already tried the latest version of Angular Moment Picker?

Nope I haven't, I will try updating and keep in touch with you.

Hi after updating I can confirm that the issue is different, the problem still remains. It seems as though the calendar has been updated as well as the input , something prevent to trigger the watches on the form to set the element (and thus the form) to dirty.
I have been using this plugin for a while and never experienced that before (it might be because I never confronted the case).

Ok, let's take this plunker.

Angular does not unset $pristine property when a model has been changed through javascript, it sets the value to false only when a user interacts with a given input.
That being said, I think that the best solution for you is to set the pristine state by yourself when model changes, using the native angular api $setDirty():

$scope.$watch('myDate', function (myDate) {
   if (angular.isDefined(myDate)) {
      form.myDate.$setDirty();
   }
});

I see the angle you are tackling this from. But I cannot get the form object from within the link function.
I'll try to find a way to do that and post it here once I have found it, thanks for the tips though!

If you have a directive with a link function maybe you need to check your scopes.
This is a very simple plunker that makes use of a directive with no private scope.

I'm going to close this issue since it seems there's not due to Angular Moment Picker.
Feel free to reopen it if you find any problem.

I haven't actually replicated this, but I am sure it is due to the fact that moment-picker does not use ngModel. ngModelCtrl methods handle setting pristine/dirty state.
