Description

The following is my interpretation of what is going on, but please note that I am not very familiar with angular, so I may very well be wrong.

If an input form with a field of type "date" is bound to an angular variable an error occurs when the stored variable is later read from the note.json file. I think, this is because the variable is stored as a string and that string and angular does not convert the string back to a date.

The error can be reproduced by creating a paragraph like this:

%angular

Test date: <input type='date' ng-model='dateObject'></input>
<button ng-click="z.angularBind('dateObject',dateObject,'20170804-135511_834695103');">Bind</button>

The variable is then stored in note.json as:

     {
        "name": "dateObject",
        "object": "2017-08-01T22:00:00.000Z",
        "noteId": "2CQ2X4TT7",
        "paragraphId": "20170804-135619_1160533068"
      }

But when the variable is reloaded from the note.json file an error occurs:

Error: [ngModel:datefmt] Expected `2017-07-03T22:00:00.000Z` to be a date
