Datepicker doesn’t work when format string starts with ‘dd’

[RastoStric]

I think the datepicker doesn’t work when format string starts with ‘dd’. I have demonstrated it with a plunker based on the basic datepicker demo from github.
http://plnkr.co/edit/HWyLXo?p=preview
Try these steps:

1. Popup and input and datepicker show correct default date – today(30 September 2013 formatted ‘dd.MM.yyyy’).
2. Click the ‘Clear’ button and type the same string (30.09.2013)
3. The input shows 30.09.2013 just like in the step 1 but neither the datepicker nor the bound model show anything.
   When you change formatting to something beginning with year or month (e.g. $scope.formats[1] which is 'yyyy/MM/dd') everything works fine. I tried to play with other than default angular locals (angular-locale_sk.js) but it does not seem to have impact to the above mentioned. It seems that that the directive tries to interpret the first part of the date string as the month, because when typing ’01.10.2013’ it sets 1 January 2013 regardless of the formatting set to start with 'dd'.

One more thing – I somehow cannot set an alternative text to the today button. I tried using 'current-text' attribute – see plunker – but it does not work.
Thank you.

@RastoStric datepicker does not do any special parsing of the date strings. You have to use your own $parser for this. You can read more at this google group post and at issue #956.

Also, the current-text etc are not part of the 0.6 version that you are using in the plunker.

Closing but if you need any more help you can report back.

@bekos Thank you for the prompt reaction. Sorry for a silly question but how can I find out what version is that current-text part of?

@RastoStric It is not part of a release yet. It is just on the latest master. You can use the snapshot file from the dist folder after you build the project locally.
Otherwise you can grab the latest build files from here: http://ci.angularjs.org/job/angularui-bootstrap/ws/dist/index.html
