title: Date in typescript in my angular 2 application
body: <p>I'm in the middle of making some test data to my views, before I make the API calls to the API application.</p>
  
  <p>In a service in my angular 2 application, I have created a interface which looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export interface amendmentBookings {
      bookingNumber: string;
      outboundDate: Date;
      returnDate: Date;
      route: string;
      Passengers: string;    
      vehicleType: string;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also created an array which must consist of type to this interface. The code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var bookings: amendmentBookings[] = [
      {
          bookingNumber: "123456789",
          outboundDate: 
          returnDate:
          route: "Dünkirchen - Dover",
          vehicleType: "Car 1.85m x 4.5m",
          Passengers: "1 adult and 1 child"
      },
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I insert a date in my test data?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried with the new Date() which you use in javascript, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>new Date("February 4, 2016 10:13:00");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that does not work..</p>
