Do not call ng-change method about angular-material-datetimepicker HOT 9 CLOSED

As a workaround, in your controller (inject $scope), then:

$scope.$watch(function() {
   return vm.valueModel;
}, function(newValue, oldValue) {
   // do something
});

ng-change normally does not evaluate the expression when the value change is coming from the model, in our case from the user keyboard.

ng-change is used on our production site since 25 Apr 2016.
I'm not sure what you try to do with vm.onChange? Why do you pass an object with a value that is already accessible anywhere in your current scope?

Try with:
<input mdc-datetime-picker ng-model="vm.valueModel" ng-change="vm.alert('changed')">

In your controller:

vm.alert = function(message) {
    window.alert(message);
    console.log(vm.valueModel);
};

I also added ng-clear="expression" in 1.9.7, because if the date value is cleared to undefined or not changed, ng-change does not trigger. ng-clear must be used with the X icon from show-icon=true.

The vm.onChange is a binding of the component that manage your input mdc-datetime-picker. If the programmer add the binding on-change, I invoke this from the ng-change method in the component. But do not pay attention to this at the moment.

Thank you for ng-clear! I will be testing this and I will tell you the results...

I found a bug, if the date is manually cleared (keyboard delete) when in edit-input="true", ng-change or ng-clear is not called.

Probably related to this check:

if (!moment(scope.currentDate).isSame(options.currentDate)) {       
    $timeout(scope.ngChange, 0);
}

Exactly that is the error that I have. The date is written directly by the user. Any idea for resolve this?

thank you @hexadecy! This works for me. It's closed.

@jasondiazg do you still use ng-clear?, I think I will call a ngChange on clear and also when the date go to undefined.

Go ahead, you can remove ng-clear if you wish! I'm not really using it. Thank you for your help.
