Because your factory's GET request will return the date value asynchronously, it's better to have a $scope.date in your controller that will hold the date value that is returned from the server. Also, depending on the format in which you store dates on the backend, you might need to transform the value that is returned from the backend into the string format, so it would be properly consumed by the
as per Angular docs.
In your code, you need to bind the input element to this value, like this:
. What it will do is bind this input to the data model, so that every time when user edits the input the $scope.date would be updated too.
If you do not want users to be able to edit this date, then you need to:
Keep the input field disabled
(no need to use ng-disabled here, because you want to keep it always disabled). And also remove this line: $('#data').attr('disabled', false); in your function.
You the one-way binding, instead of two0way binding, like this:
Here is the working DEMO that shows two inputs: one that is editable and another that is not.
