It's because the datepicker widget directive is just a jquery proxy that does not care about Angular form validation at all. Actually most part of Metronic's components is made this way and Metronic was never really meant for Angular. They should have switched to angular material or prime-ng, but this is only 5 cents.
Just use google and find Yourself a suitable datepicker for Angular.
Please, please, please open source it. Just about now :) For example, I would like to port ASP.NET Zero frontend to Microsoft's Angular template, moreover I would like to rewrite it to use PirmeNg instead of zillion of shity javascripts in Metronic (Do all metronic inputs support pristine/touched state tracking? Checkboxes? Radios? Datepicker? Drop-downs?). To use the tool I will need the source.
Let me be google for You: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-chrome-debug">https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-chrome-debug</a>
I do not want to suppress warnings. I would like to upgrade/downgrade/consolidate packages in the solution.
Current solution is not compatible with Visual Studio, You will not be able to run Angular directly from VS. On the other hand VS2017 already has quite clean Angular template, so You can port current code to that template. Moreover, I would suggest ASP.NET Zero would do the same, at least for the full stack .NET solution.
Project downloaded from aspnetzero.com. Just stock project. The project builds just fine.[attachment=0:3bfhl10h]packages.png[/attachment:3bfhl10h]
After a full PC reinstall and fresh VS2017 install the solution building is successful. But while building Application.Shared and Core.Shared there is a warning:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2041,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
I removed that reference, and this warning is gone.
Visual Studio 15.5.4 installed. No additional SDK/framework installed, but .NET Core 2 should be already available in VS2017[attachment=0:1ofj6med]8 dot.net.png[/attachment:1ofj6med]
I tried "dotnet restore", I tried repairing Visual Studio, nothing helps. I have almost every .NET component installed: [attachment=0:kf5gpw4b]7 components 1.png[/attachment:kf5gpw4b]
Tried the same on another PC with full VS2017 install - same problems.
OK, this can be fixed with package install:

Now Core.Shared is building. Now Application.Shared is giving some erorrs:

Maybe this something to do with the target framework?
