datetime is dirty from the start

[2J]

<datetime ngModel #example="ngModel" name="example"></datetime>
{{example.dirty}}

[2J]

Model is being set dirty in function clearModels, which is being called from function writeValue as soon as component is initialized.

I think this is a problem if we use validations.

Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

@mattmcardle It looks like this is an issue because of the call in clearModels(). The first line of that method is this.dateChange.emit(null); which triggers onChange (and consequently makes the control dirty). At first glance, it seems that line should be removed.

Is there a PR for this?

@rgiosa @nkalinov HUUUGGGGEE!!!! for me too.
I literally had to edit the node_modules and add some comments in the component to hint this.
