Is there an angular way to apply a filter an <input type="text"> to an incoming ngModel value?

[Dan Rybij]

It's very handy to be able to make filters to format expressions:

<div>{{my_datetime | datetime : 'MM/dd/yyyy'}}</div>

But I can't seem to find an elegant angular way to format an incoming value (via ngModel) in a form widget:

<input type="text" ng-model="my_datetime" format-datetime="MM/dd/yyyy"/>

I tried to make a directive which will work with <input> as well as <textarea> and can't seem to make the $watch work.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Please help!

Yes!  You can hook into the $formatters and $parsers on ngModelController.  Take a look at the section called "Implementing custom form control (using ngModel)" in the docs at http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/forms

Looking at formatters now... missed that part of your post. Thanks
