I'm coding in .NET MVC and would like to pass a stored DateTime object to the front-end as an initial value for a Date object in a controller.
Here's what I've tried:
ng-init="params.datetime = new Date()"
This doesn't seem to work, and I'm getting a syntax error.
How can I pass in a Date object as an initial property for a scope variable?
UPDATE
I forgot to include the Razor code in my code sample.
ng-init="params.datetime = new Date('@Model.DepartureTime.ToString("s")')"
Angular scope doesn't know about Date
Try to use:
$scope.Date = new Date();
and after:
<div ng-controller="myController"
ng-init="params.datetime = Date"
>Current time: {{params.datetime}}</div>

As an answer for your EDIT,
rewrite Date
as method:
$scope.Date = function(arg){
return new Date(arg);
};
and:
<div ng-controller="myController"
ng-init="params.datetime = Date('Tue Feb 18 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)')"
>Current time: {{params.datetime}}</div>
