Yeah, great idea...
Do all the DOM work manually.
If typing boilerplate code is what you'd like to ~~spend~~ waste your time on Unsure | :~

Besides, that isn't really managing your complexity, it's just adding more! (syncing events and all that).

Well, ok, I'm wasting it on some simple DatePicker, but I'm pretty sure "vanilla" JS has date issues too Smile | :)

You could say that about any type of coding.

You create little script libraries - purposed for whatever you need - and call them in your header, as needed.

So - you don't keep reinventing the wheel - you just do a really good job of it and keep reusing it - AND - since you made it yourself - you can modify it, derive from it, and all that neat stuff at your leisure.

This is how frameworks arise. Reusable libraries (often opinionated) to accomplish things with less effort. So you are basically advocating framework usage, even if its your own in this instance. Perhaps you should document and release it, get it unit tested, open sourced and peer reviewed and then it might be up to standard with some of the other more modern frameworks that are already out there!

It's mine - mine- all mine . . . and unlike the frameworks you appear to (implicitly) champion , they are totally obedient to my needs - always. Why would I want to become part of the problem, feeding the crowd of the ill equipped posting to Q&A ?

See http://momentjs.com/docs/ for formatting codes.
Moment is now installed by default with the Angular 2 quickstart.
To use moment with Angular 2, you must do the following:
1. Add the following line to the top of any *.ts file that uses moment:
import * as moment from 'moment';
2. Add the following line to the map object of systemjs.config.js:
'moment': 'node_modules/moment/moment.js',
OR (using a predefined path in systemjs):
'moment': 'npm:moment/moment.js'

Example:

var d: string;
var m = moment(d);
if (m.isValid()) { return m.format("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm a"); }

Yeah, I know of Moment.js, great library!
The issue isn't so much with the date as it is with the input element and binding though Wink | ;)

It lox much worse than it tastes.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'll have to think abbot it, or discuss it in a low vesper and do Vatican to find an answer.
