Bug description:

At 1.2.5 of UIBS min-date and max-date properties works perfect but at 1.3.3 this not work anymore and I'm trying with datepicker-options but is not working.

I left a picture of the example, it is a simple date range between two date picker.

PD: on every update, always have issues with date picker, I wonder why you guys make changes in this control that works fine in previous version and in a new version crush.

I'm starting to get tired of this, because there are no documentation of migrating properties between versions of something like that

thanks

The problem is datepicker-options are static and doesn't update when Scope changes.
In this case, I've made change method in my controller that changes datepicker-options when datepicker input changes.

PD: Still don't see the improvement against min-date and max-date tags in UIBootstrap previous versions.

Html:

Javascript:

As you can see, this is more tricky than min-date and max-date tags

Please post a reproduction in Plunker of what is intended - otherwise, I will have to close this issue as invalid.

Hi,

There is a plunker of working version:
https://plnkr.co/edit/RBIdkMd6cG2fN8YFux1i?p=preview

As you can see in plunker example, I had to write an event for update minDate and maxDate, because the datepicker options are static.

In previous versions, minDate and maxDate are updatable by scope when you setted as properties in html markup.

PD: sorry for the naming variables because I dind't have time to change it.

I've made a simplified version to demonstrate this issue here

It uses only 2 input fields and does a simple validation: one field's date must be after the other. minDate is updated dynamically by $watching.

There are instructions in the example to reproduce the problem.

What @mobius127 says is correct. Prior, you used to be able to do something in the HTML like min-date={{myCtrl.minDate}} and it would update dynamically. Now, I have to physically change the datepicker options object. I can't, for example, take the minDate as a one-way binding in a directive, set it to the datepicker options object, and expect it to change when the bound value changes.

If it's not possible to have these values get watched and automatically updated, it'd at least be nice for us to be able to specify datepicker options in the HTML so that they can be interpolated. Maybe something like, any attribute prefixed with datepicker-option-?

[wesleycho]

Would adding support for an extra configuration option such as minDateChange and maxDateChange for firing a callback bound to those properties of the options object be sufficient for addressing this? That way extra watches would not have to be bound for updating on change, and it gives a little more flexibility as to what can be done when the values change. In addition, it is more succinct.
