Similar question but the question isn't sufficiently answered
In the following code, why doesn't uib-datepicker-popup turn into an angular UI date picker?
Am I missing some flag/compile option for the directive?
This is a stripped down example of the datepicker-popup example in the Angular-UI documentation, modified to be inside a directive. Notice how it works when used with the controller but doesn't work in my example with the directive.
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ngAnimate', 'ngSanitize', 'ui.bootstrap']);
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').directive('timeScale',()=>({
template: `
<h1>Scope:</h1>
<ul>
<li>format: {{format}}</li>
<li>dt: {{dt}}</li>
<li>popup: {{popup}}</li>
<li>dateOptions: {{dateOptions}}</li>
</ul>
<input type="text"
class="form-control"
uib-datepicker-popup="{{format}}"
ng-model="dt"
is-open="popup.opened"
datepicker-options="dateOptions"
ng-required="true"
close-text="Close"/>
`,
link: $scope => {
$scope.format = 'dd-MMMM-yyyy'
$scope.dt = null;
$scope.popup = {
openend: false
};
$scope.dateOptions = {
dateDisabled: false,
formatYear: 'yy',
maxDate: new Date(2020, 5, 22),
minDate: new Date(),
startingDay: 1
}
}
}));<body ng-app="ui.bootstrap.demo">
