Date format dd/MM/yyyy is not handled properly in datepicker

[yukiachen]

hello there,

I'm having a problem using the datepicker plugin with the format dd/MM/yyyy , I have my datepicker initialized as below.

<input type="text" datepicker-popup="dd/MM/yyyy" ng-model="fromDate" min="mindate" max="maxdate" />

It works fine if I select the date from the calendar popup. but if I type in the date in the input box in the format 'dd/MM/yyyy', it will recognize the 'day' as the 'month'. eg. if type in '16/03/2014', datepicker will treat 16 as the month, and generate an undefined result.

When reading the code in ui-bootstrap-tpls.js, I found the following code in the function parseDate of directive 'datepickerPopup', the viewValue is in the format 'dd/MM/yyyy', but when the Javascript Date object takes it in, it will assume the format to be 'MM/dd/yyyy' ,

var date = new Date(viewValue);

So I have made my temporary fix to replace the above line with the following, and it's now working for me, could you please fix this problem in your repo, so we dont keep this custom code in your file.

var date = null;
            if(dateFormat === 'dd/MM/yyyy' || dateFormat === 'dd/MM/yy') {
                var dateParts = viewValue.split("/");
                date = new Date(dateParts[2], dateParts[1]-1, dateParts[0]);
            } else if(dateFormat === 'dd-MM-yyyy' || dateFormat === 'dd-MM-yy') {
                var dateParts = viewValue.split("-");
                date = new Date(dateParts[2], dateParts[1]-1, dateParts[0]);
            } else {
                date = new Date(viewValue);
            }

There is a TODO comment about this before the parseDate method:

// TODO: reverse from dateFilter string to Date object

Duplicate of #1289. There is already a date parser in progress #1874. You can test and leave your feedback.
