Ngx-bootstrap: Datepicker : Initial value doesn't take locale format into account

[will421]

Bug description or feature request:

When settings the initial value of a datepicker through ngModel, the set format seems to be ignored.
Format is used when selecting a new value.

Plunker/StackBlitz that reproduces the issue:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/ngx-bootstrap-datepicker-tpmm9q
I set in app.module the local to 'fr'. But the initial value seems to be format 'en' and it switch to 'fr' when selecting a new value.

Versions of ngx-bootstrap, Angular, and Bootstrap:

ngx-bootstrap: 2.0.0-beta.8
Angular: 4.3.6
Bootstrap: 3.3.7

Build system: Angular CLI, System.js, webpack, starter seed:

Angular CLI

Just stupid q:
Why you are working on an <input> instead of <bs-datepicker>? At least with this tag I experience no problems

@leomayer Because all of the examples in the docs use

Any update about this issue? It happens also on 'it' locale.
Initially it shows the correct locale but when i write for example 1/12/2017 (1st of December in Italian locale) it becomes 12/1/2017 (12th of January in Italian locale).

This issue can be reproduced with the 2.0.2 release. Any chance this is going to be fixed soon ?

I have the same issue with 2.0.3. Trying to use en-gb (DD/MM/YYYY) format and initial value is in MM/DD/YYYY format. After selecting date in datepicker, I get correct format. Also, if I change date manually and open picker again I get the correct format. Only the first displayed format is wrong.

[tvbegovic]

Just to add to my last post - I managed to get correct initial format by using BsLocaleService and in my constructor I called service.use('en-gb').

I have the same problem. Any updates?

My initial value is in MM/DD/YYYY instead DD/MM/YYYY.

@valorkin I notice this issue is closed, but we are still running into issues with the date format. Should we create a new issue?
