jQuery ui datepicker with Angularjs

Question

I want to use jQuery UI datepicker with AngularJS.

I have a sample , but my code is not working.

Sample:

http://www.abequar.net/jquery-ui-datepicker-with-angularjs/

My Code:

<input id="sDate" name="programStartDate" type="text" datepicker required/>



angular.module('elnApp')
 .directive('datepicker', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    require : 'ngModel',
    link : function (scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
        $(function(){
            element.datepicker({
                dateFormat:'yy-mm-dd',
                onSelect:function (date) {
                    ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue(date);
                    scope.$apply();

                }
            });
        });
    }
} });

It shows an error TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'datepicker'.

I have almost exactly the same code as you and mine works.

Do you have jQueryUI.js included in the page?

There's a fiddle here

<input type="text" ng-model="date" jqdatepicker />
<br/>
{{ date }}


var datePicker = angular.module('app', []);

datePicker.directive('jqdatepicker', function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'ngModel',
         link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
            element.datepicker({
                dateFormat: 'DD, d  MM, yy',
                onSelect: function (date) {
                    scope.date = date;
                    scope.$apply();
                }
            });
        }
    };
});

You'll also need the ng-app="app" somewhere in your HTML
