title: How do you save a DATE field in Firebase using AngularFire
body: <p>I have a screen with a DATE field (Start Date) where the user can enter any date</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;label class="item item-input"&gt;
       &lt;span class="input-label"&gt;Start Date&lt;/span&gt;
       &lt;input type="date" ng-model="currentItem.OpenDate"&gt;
  &lt;/label&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I added the following to the Save button's click event </p>
  
  <pre><code>console.log("Normal date " + $scope.currentItem.OpenDate);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The console shows the following date</p>
  
  <pre><code>Normal date Fri May 01 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the push event </p>
  
  <pre><code>$scope.data.accounts.push({ 'AccountName': $scope.currentItem.AccountName, 'StartBalance': $scope.currentItem.StartBalance, 'OpenDate': $scope.currentItem.OpenDate, 'AccountType': $scope.currentItem.AccountType });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>HOWEVER, the date <code>$scope.currentItem.OpenDate</code> is not getting saved to Firebase, the rest of the data is saving properly. What am I missing?</p>
