Changing Value doesn't Trigger Change Event

[jtillman]

After user selects a value and the input value is update, the "change" event is not triggered on the input element.

As per jQuery documentation, you should manually call .trigger( "change" ) after setting a input's value.

Other frameworks rely on these events to update their state properly. In my case Angular 2.

Use the onChange method instead... it provides a JS date object instead of text which you'd have to parse yourself.

Awesome library Michael, thanks! One thing:

This prevents you from simply using

$('form').change(() => {
  ...
})

to handle all form change events in forms where we use this datepicker.
