datepicker throws error, decrements on clicking dropdown

[jamespsterling]

Datepicker changes after selecting date from the picker and click into another field on the form.

Running latest version of master as of 3/20/2017

Steps to Reproduce

1. Goto: https://marmelab.com/ng-admin-demo/index.html#/customers/edit/485
2. Click into the datepicker 'Birthday' field
3. Select any date
4. Click into another input field on the form (any)
5. Observe as clicking into any other field changes the date in the 'Birthday' input field

Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

On which timezone do you are?

[jamespsterling]

@Kmaschta EST

@Kmaschta I'm experiencing the same, and in the debug console I get a:

10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting! error.

My TZ is USA/CST

If I clear the date field first, then it works. Also, it works on create, but errors on edit.

@jamespsterling @dlemphers Do you confirm that the PR #1334 has fixed this issue?

[dlemphers]

@Kmaschta I'm on 1.0.5 and I still have issues:

1. The date shown in the input box is correct, but when you select the popout, the date is the day before:

2. At this point if I select a new value, I get the 10 $digest() iterations reached error:

3. And lastly, clicking on the dropdown changes the date by itself, decrementing 11 days at a time. For example, I just click on the calendar icon, then click off focus without selecting a date, and repeat that, and the date just changes by itself.

Has this problem been fixed?? I have the same problem here.
Is there any other alternative to date fields?

Same problem here.

I guess that the cause of this bug is when the date is created from a string that only contain the date part (not the time)

ng-admin/src/javascripts/ng-admin/Crud/field/maDateField.js

Line 6 in e3a49fe

return new Date(value);

Since it is created from UTC time, so with negative timezone offsets the date resulted it's the day before.
So, after that it starts an infinite loop between the watches of values and rawValue

Any progress on this bug? It has been present for more than a while.

[Kmaschta]

@thanhbuiea I'm sorry, but we are focusing our efforts in a new project: marmelab/react-admin, and we haven't the time to address all the ng-admin issues.

But we'd be glad to help any contribution.
