title: How to get Bootstrap timepicker date object?
body: <p>Currently using bootstrap timepicker with Angularjs</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://jdewit.github.com/bootstrap-timepicker" rel="nofollow">http://jdewit.github.com/bootstrap-timepicker</a> </p>
  
  <p>The control is displaying well but when i set the ng-model and get the startTime</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;div class="col-md-3"&gt;
        &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
             &lt;input type="text" class="form-control timepicker" ng-disabled="!useTime" data-template="dropdown" data-show-seconds="true" data-default-time="11:25 AM" data-show-meridian="true" data-minute-step="5" ng-model="startTime" /&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The startTime assigned is a string like "11:25 AM" instead of a date object i can manipulate in javascript. </p>
  
  <p>How can i get date object? Do i need to convert it manually?</p>
