Integration with JSON

Generally, the data which is received from the server is serialized in a JSON format.

The date object in JSON is an ISO8601-formatted date string. For more details, refer to the documentation on the JSON.stringify method. On the other hand, the DateTimePicker works only with JavaScript Date instances.

To bind the DateTimePicker to dates which are serialized as strings, handle the parsing process:

1. Convert the JSON date strings into valid JavaScript Date objects by using the IntlService or any other suitable Date parser.
2. Define the value input property of the component—the same approach applies to reactive and template-driven forms.
3. Serialize the form value on form submit. This step can be omitted if you use the Angular HttpClient setting to send the form value to a remote server, as the latter serializes the body of the request by default.

The following example demonstrates how to set the value of the DateTimePicker.
