Issue description

Current behavior:
ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: date2.getTime is not a function
TypeError: date2.getTime is not a function
at NbNativeDateService.push../node_modules/@nebular/theme/components/calendar-kit/services/native-date.service.js.NbNativeDateService.compareDates (native-date.service.js:108)

Expected behavior:
Nebular 3 - components - form - datepicker -rangepicker to work with [min] and [max] being set.

Both range and date pickers support all parameters as calendar, so, check NbCalendarComponent for additional info.

Steps to reproduce:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/nebular-1281-kmwnav?file=src/app/app.component.ts
Using the Validation template replace 'nb-datepicker' to 'nb-rangepicker' and using [(ngModel)]

In the meantime, I have created a work around to solve the above problem(s):

    <input nbInput placeholder="{{ngModelDate.start | date}} - {{ngModelDate.end | date}}" [nbDatepicker]="ngmodel">
    <nb-rangepicker #ngmodel [min]="min" [max]="max"> </nb-rangepicker>

When this bug will be fixed?

[DanielNetzeriAm]

managed to workaround it by overriding the comparison method to suit the formControl with the rangePickerDirective in the following manner.

constructor(...) {
    this.dateRangesCtrl.patchValue(this.reportsQuery.getValue().dateRange);

    let isStart = true;
    this.dateService.compareDates = (date1: Date, date2: unknown) => {
      let inputVal: Date;
      if (isStart) {
        inputVal = (date2 as { start: Date; end: Date }).start;
        isStart = false;
      } else {
        inputVal = (date2 as { start: Date; end: Date }).end;
        isStart = true;
      }
      return date1 === inputVal ? 0 : date1 > inputVal ? 1 : -1;
    };

    this.min = this.dateService.createDate(2019, 1, 1);
    this.max = new Date();
}

and in template

        <input nbInput placeholder="Pick Date Range" class="date-picker" [nbDatepicker]="formpicker" [formControl]="dateRangesCtrl" />
        <nb-rangepicker #formpicker [min]="min" [max]="max"></nb-rangepicker>

@DanielNetzeriAm use formcontrol & (min、max) together will throw error "date.clone is not function"

@zhanghongyublog I set defult value use [value] in input template.
give up use formControl or ngModel

<input nbInput [nbDatepicker]="formpicker" [value]="fakeInputValue">
<nb-rangepicker #formpicker [min]="min" [max]="max"></nb-rangepicker>

value is pure string
can avoid throw error "date.clone is not function" or "date2.getTime is not a function"

this.fakeInputValue = ${dayjs(new Date()).format('YYYY/MM/DD')} - ${dayjs(new Date()).format('YYYY/MM/DD')}`;

@zhanghongyublog I have the same problem. FormControl With min and max throw the error "date.clone is not function"
