datetime-picker directive requires ngModel error

[Redigast13]

Here is my code: <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="{{'FIELD_DATE' | translate}}" [formControl]="date" [ngModel]="dateValue" datetime-picker [date-format]="dateFormat"> I fetch dateValue from server and in first time this variable is empty. I have the error in console: datetime-picker directive requires ngModel

This happens because of the following. Although you see the error, there must be no difference in functionality To silent the error, please assign an initialize your dateValue with an empty string.

    let dateNgModel: Date | String =  this.ngModel;
    if (!(this.ngModel instanceof Date || typeof this.ngModel === 'string')) {
      console.error("datetime-picker directive requires ngModel");
      this.ngModel = this.dateTime.formatDate(new Date(), this.dateOnly);
    }

thank you!

I would nonetheless reopen the issue, because I would expect the plugin to support formControl / formControlName without needing ngModel. This "hacks" is indeed working, but that's not a proper solution I would say.
