The ng-init directive allows you to evaluate an expression in the current scope. This can be used to initialize model values.
Usage:
<div ng-init="test1 = someValue"></div> <div ng-init="test1 = (someValue |someFilter)"></div>
Example
Initialize date using ng-init and date filter.
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller='MyCtrl'>
<label>Date:</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="dateVal" ng-init="dateVal=(Date() | date:'yyyy/MM/dd')">
<div/>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.3/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var module = angular.module("myApp", []);
module.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.Date = function () {return new Date();}
});
</script>
