title: Angular 2: How to use JavaScript Date Object with NgModel two way binding
body: <p>I'm working with Angular 2 and I have this code:</p>
  
  <p>JS, this code initiates the employee-variable for the template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>handleEmployee(employee : Employee){
          this.employee = employee;
          this.employee.startDate = new Date('2005/01/01');
          console.log(this.employee);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;label&gt;Start date: &lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;input [(ngModel)]="employee.startDate" type="date" name="startDate"/&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Other data like firstname is displayed correctly. But for the date I just get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mm/dd/yyyy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the input element, which should be a date.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this?</p>
