Using Datetime as a Form Control
If included in a Form component, Datetime becomes a Form Control:
Note that the property Name should be specified. By default, the Name property is set as the Component name property. Change it to your name if it is necessary.
To use variables as the control's data, the advanced property [(ngModel)] should be specified - the variable name should be entered as the property value. It replaces the value that is set by the Initial Value property.
The component can get additional properties (Control ID and Control options) that allow checking the validity, changing updating strategy, etc. These properties can be used if the Native Validation property is disabled for the Form component.
Read more about validation in the Form section.
Note!
The component can't be used with array iteration data for creating a dynamic form structure. If you need to create such kind of structure, follow these recommendations
